[Acute macular neuroretinopathy: En face OCT description, case series]

Acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN) is a rare disease characterized by involvement of the outer retinal layers of the macula. The diagnosis of AMN is based on multimodal imaging, combining infrared reflectance (IR) imaging and optical coherence tomography with B-scan analysis (OCT-B). The en face OCT is a tomographic image processing technique, integrating data from entire A-scans to create a frontal retinal image of the desired area. Structural en face OCT imaging appears to be effective in delineating AMN lesions, using segmentation between the outer plexiform line and the ellipsoid line. In the future, analysis of the various modalities of a single OCT acquisition may be sufficient to diagnose AMN.
