Purpose:To describe perivascular flower-bud-like lesions (PFBLs) as novel characteristics of vitreoretinal lymphoma on en face optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography.Methods:A retrospective chart review was performed on 23 consecutive patients (35 eyes), who had biopsy-proven vitreoretinal lymphoma between January 2018 and March 2021. En face OCT angiography images were analyzed before and after intervention. PFBLs were initially identified on midretinal slabs of en face OCT angiography, and were further characterized by other imaging modalities.Results:Perivascular flower-bud-like lesions were detected in 12 eyes (34.3%) of 8 patients, of which 8 eyes had best-corrected visual acuity of 20/40 or better. In 10 of the 12 eyes, PFBLs were detected within 6 months of symptom onset. On en face OCT angiography, PFBLs presented as punctate points or confluent bands surrounding retinal vessels, with arterial and venous involvement. In 4 of the 12 eyes, arteries were mainly affected. On OCT B-scans, PFBLs commonly appeared as hyperreflective full-thickness intraretinal lesions that colocalized with subretinal pigment epithelium deposits (3 eyes, 25%) and retinal pigment epithelium irregularities (4 eyes, 33.3%). However, PFBLs could not always be identified on other imaging modalities such as fundus photographs and fundus fluorescein angiography. In all eyes with follow-up, PFBLs attenuated or resolved months after receiving chemotherapy or diagnostic vitrectomy.Conclusion:PFBLs are characteristic imaging findings of vitreoretinal lymphoma and may facilitate an early diagnosis of vitreoretinal lymphoma, which would in turn lead to more timely and effective treatment.
