Purpose: To identify signs of inflammatory activity in patients with idiopathic intermediate uveitis (IIU) using OCT angiography (OCTA).
Methods: This is a descriptive case series at the Asociación para Evitar la Ceguera en México, comparing OCTA images in patients with the diagnosis of IUU with their clinical and fluorescein angiography (FA) findings.
Results: Seventeen eyes of nine patients were recruited into the study, OCTA images were not useful to distinguish between patients with active or inactive inflammation. Eyes with cystic macular edema (CME) had foveal avascular zones smaller than other patients.
Conclusion: At the time OCTA does not provide any useful information on patients with IIU. Our findings regarding CME correlate with those previously reported.
