Paediatric staphyloma classification: new perspectives via ultrawide field three-dimensional swept-source optical coherence tomographic angiography
The UWF 3D SS-OCTA modality with posterior eye curvature maps and posterior eye height maps offers unparalleled insights into staphyloma patterns, especially in paediatric patients. Paediatric staphylomas exhibit a unique presentation, divergent from adults, with two novel types identified. The findings underline the importance of updating classification systems, ensuring they reflect the realities observed in paediatric pathology and diagnostics.
