Abstract: Aim: To describe the multimodal imaging findings of pigmented paravenous retinochoroidal atrophy. Methods: A 23-year-old female presented to us for a routine ocular examination. She had a best-corrected visual acuity of 6/6 in both eyes. Anterior segment examination was unremarkable. Fundus examination showed pigmentary changes along the retinal vasculature extending from mid periphery to post-equatorial retina suggesting a diagnosis of pigmented paravenous retinochoroidal atrophy. Swept-source optical coheren… Show more

“…In particular, the lesion in the patient's right eye involved the macular area, which may also be the cause of the patient's low vision. This is inconsistent with reports in most articles that the disease rarely affects the macular area and that children are asymptomatic [1,4] . Kumar et al [5] described that the onset of PPCRA starts from the site far away from the optic nipple, but we found that most of the images in the article involved the optic nipple, including the two patients reported in the present article.…”

“…P igmented paravenous chorioretinal atrophy (PPCRA), which was first described by Hewiston-Brown in 1937, is a rare pigmentary retinopathy affecting the retina and choroid; most patients mainly manifest symmetrical retinal choroid in both eyes, except for a small number of patients with monocular manifestations [1] . The condition is characterized by atrophy and pigmentation along the great retinal vein and its branches.…”

“…Inflammatory, infectious, genetic, and idiopathic etiologies have been described, but the unifying pathogenesis remains unclear. [194] Paravenous hypo-AF from RPE atrophy and pigment clumping can be found, with adjacent zones of hyper-AF [195,Figure 8]. These zones of hyper-AF may be found along peripheral veins and may precede frank RPE atrophy and pigment clumping.…”
