Purpose: To describe the multicolor imaging (MCI) features in a series of patients diagnosed with a choroidal nevus and compare it vis-à-vis color fundus photography (CFP) in identifying the lesion. Methods: In this retrospective, descriptive case series at a tertiary referral center in South India, all patients diagnosed with the choroidal nevus underwent CFP, optical coherence tomography, MCI, and infrared reflectance (IR) imaging. Results: In this study, we found that on MCI, the choroidal nevus could be identified in only six of the 12 eyes. The lesions were seen as an area of hyperreflectance on IR image and orange-colored lesion on multicolor image. In one eye, there was a mixed pattern of hyper and hyporeflectance on IR imaging. The remaining five eyes with choroidal nevus lesions were not identified on MCI. Conclusion: The variable features of the choroidal nevus on MCI are most likely due to the variable melanin content within the nevus cells. Further studies are needed to validate these findings.

Background: Multicolour imaging (MI) is a novel, non-invasive retinal imaging technology. Its sensitivity for detecting the clinical features in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) has not been previously described. The aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of MI compared to fluorescein angiography and colour fundus photography in CSCR, and to describe the imaging features of MI. Methods: In this retrospective study at a tertiary referral centre, 63 consecutive eyes with CSCR (both acute and chronic) were included after obtaining permission from the institutional review board. Multimodal imaging with colour fundus photography, optical coherence tomography, MI and fluorescein angiography/indocyanine green angiography and nearinfrared and blue wavelength autofluorescence was analysed to identify the clinical findings in CSCR. Sensitivity and specificity values were computed for the different clinical features for each imaging modality. Results: On comparison with fluorescein angiography, MI was found to be more effective in identifying the extent of subretinal fluid (78 per cent versus 13 per cent). MI was equally capable in identifying pigment epithelium detachment (100 per cent versus 100 per cent) and retinal pigment epithelial changes (100 per cent versus 100 per cent). Focal leaks were identified in 84 per cent and 97 per cent of eyes using MI and fluorescein angiography imaging, respectively. The sensitivity of MI in identifying focal retinal pigment epithelial leaks was higher compared to near-infrared autofluorescence (84 per cent versus 34 per cent) and blue wavelength autofluorescence (84 per cent versus 18 per cent) imaging. Conclusion: MI is a useful, non-invasive imaging modality for detecting clinical features in CSCR. In the future, MI has the potential to substitute for fluorescein angiography and colour fundus photography as the imaging modality of choice.
