Patient Presentation: A 23-year-old obese female was diagnosed with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and referred to neurosurgery for ventriculoperitoneal shunt. A baseline ocular examination was performed prior to the procedure.
On examination, vision was 20/200 in the right eye, and 20/40 in the left eye. There was a right relative afferent pupillary defect. Slit lamp examination was normal.

Case 55
Patient Presentation: A 79-year-old female presented to a retina clinic for assessment of her known dry age-related macular degeneration. She noted 6 months of progressively worsening vision OD. She denied alternative past ocular history; she noted a past medical history of hypertension and dyslipidemia. She was using Vitalux daily.
Her vision was 20/50 OD and 20/20 OS with intraocular pressures within normal limits. Her pupils were equal and reactive to light. Anterior segment examination was unremarkable. Fundus examination found soft drusen in the macula bilaterally, as well as a blunted foveal reflex OD. A macula cube OCT was conducted and shown below:
Due to the presence of the SHRM and fibrovascular PED on OCT, OCT angiography was conducted and shown below:
Question: What can be appreciated in the OCTA above?
