Choroidal thickness in Waardenburg syndrome

Abstract: Purpose: To assess the choroidal thickness in differently pigmented areas of the fundus in a 46-year-old female with Waardenburg syndrome. Methods: Retrospective, case review. Choroidal thickness was measured using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT, Topcon DRI OCT-1 Atlantis) and compared between the pigmented and hypopigmented areas within the same eye and between the two eyes.Results: Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/20 in both eyes. The right fundus had a variegated appearance without choroidal hypopigmentation. The left fundus had choroidal hypopigmentation beyond the superotemporal arcade up to the periphery. Subfoveal choroidal thickness was 455 µ in the right eye and 569 µ in the left eye. In the left eye, the comparison of two equidistant points from the foveola along a radial scan passing through the superotemporal hypopigmented area revealed a thinner choroidal thickness (457 µ) compared to the corresponding point in the pigmented inferonasa...
