Sickle cell maculopathy was sparingly mentioned in the literature before despite the fact that sickle cell disease or sickle cell trait is common in people of many areas of the world. This study shows that OCTA is a very valuable, non invasive, office procedure that may well be used in diagnosing this disease.
this is a clinical study of two African Canadian patients that were diagnosed with sickle cell trait. I used OCTA to show macular vascular occlusions that usually happen with this disease.
