title: Choroidal Neovascularization in Malattia Leventinese Diagnosed Using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To compare optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) with traditional multimodal imaging in patients with Malattia Leventinese.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective case series.
  
  
  METHODS
  Eight eyes of 4 consecutive patients with Malattia Leventinese were retrospectively studied. All patients underwent a complete ophthalmologic examination including color fundus photography, fluorescein and indocyanine green angiographies, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, and optical coherence tomography angiography.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The choriocapillaris segmentation of OCT-A revealed the presence of a hyperflow signal corresponding to active choroidal neovascularization in 3 eyes and inactive choroidal neovascularization in 1 eye. Traditional multimodal imaging did not show each vascular layer and any leakage in these cases.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  OCT-A, unlike traditional multimodal imaging, helps diagnose choroidal neovascularization in patients with Malattia Leventinese suffering from metamorphopsia and reduced visual acuity.
