optomap® Recognizing Pathology
This material is designed as a searchable reference resource to support clinical decision-making. The information contained here should be used as general guidance when viewing optomap and OCT images from Optos devices. The differential diagnosis should be made under the direction of the responsible physician. These images were taken on the latest ultra-widefield optomap devices.
Presumed Ocular Histoplasmosis Syndrome (POHS)
Chorioretinal disease characterized by peripheral punched-out atrophic spots, peripapillary atrophy or scarring, no evidence of inflammation (i.e. No vitreous cell), and evidence of choroidal neovascularization (which may present with bleeding, fluid, and scarring) in the macula. The term “presumed” is used because the causal link to histoplasma infection has not been firmly established.
