Purpose: To compare indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and swept-source wide-field optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) for the assessment of patients with posterior uveitis.

Method: SS-OCTA montage images of 5 x 12 x 12 mm or 2 x 15 x 9 mm, covering ~70–90 degree of the retina of consecutive patients with posterior uveitis were acquired. The choriocapillaries and choroidal slabs were compared to findings on ICGA.

Results: Sixty-eight eyes of 41 patients were included (mean age 47.2 ± 20.4 years; 58.5% female). In 23 (34%) lesions were visible on OCTA, but not discernable on ICGA. In turn, out of the 45 eyes with clearly discernable lesions on ICGA, 22 (49%) and 21 (47%) eyes showed no corresponding areas of flow deficit on OCTA in the CC and choroidal slab, respectively. Lesion size strongly correlated among ICGA and OCTA choriocapillaries- (CC) (r = 0.99, p ≤ 0.0001) and choroidal slabs (r = 0.99, p ≤ 0.0001), respectively. The mean lesion size on the late frames of ICGA (8.45 ± 5.47 mm2) was larger compared to the lesion size on OCTA CC scan (7.98 ± 5.47 mm2, p ≤ 0.0001) and choroidal scan (7.69 ± 5.10 mm2, p = 0.002), respectively. The lesion size on OCTA CC scan was significantly larger than on the OCTA choroidal scan (p ≤ 0.0001).

Conclusion: SS-wide field OCTA may be a promising tool to assess posterior uveitis patients and may replace ICGA to a certain extent in the future.
