Carlo E. Traverso received his MD degree from the University of Genova Medical School, where he also attended the Residency program.He subsequently attended the Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia, where he completed subspecialty training in Glaucoma with George L.

Case Report
Multimodal Imaging in a Long-standing Case of Pattern Dystrophy
Author(s): Lorenzo Ferro Desideri*, Paola Cirafici, Carlo Enrico Traverso and Massimo Nicolò
Purpose: The aim of this study is to report the case of a patient diagnosed with butterfly pattern dystrophy (BPD), which during yearly follow-up visits developed a concomitant pachychoroidal neovasculopathy (PNV).
Methods: Case report focusing on the role multimodal imaging in patients with pattern dystrophies (PDs)
Case report: We describe a case of a 52-year-old woman,which was initially diagnosed with BPD by fundus examination, fundus autofluorescence and optical coherence tomofraphy findings. Interestingly, during yearly follow-up visits, the presence of a thickened choroid bilaterally associated with the onset of concomitant choroidal neovascularizations (CNVs) in the right eye was made possibile by adopting multimodal imaging, in particular optical coherence tomography angiography.
