Zusammenfassung:Purpose To describe retinal changes in active multifocal and serpiginous chorioretinitis seen withen-faceoptical coherence tomography (OCT). Design Observational case report. Methods Two patients, presenting with active multifocal chorioretinitis (MFC) and serpiginous chorioretinitis (SC), respectively, were scanned with a prototype en face OCT ophthalmoscope. Results The OCT scan in the patient with the active MFC lesion showed a transretinal hyperreflectivity at the site of lesion. The OCT scan in the patient with the active SC lesion showed hyper-reflectivity in the outer retina at the site of the lesion. Conclusions OCT allows for better evaluation of intraretinal changes in patients with white dot syndromes. In these two cases, OCT showed different morphologic changes in active lesions. OCT may be helpful in identifying the location of involvement in various white dot syndromes. This may have prognostic and therapeutic significance.
