Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography and Ultra-Widefield Optical Coherence Tomography in a Child With Incontinentia Pigmenti

Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is a rare X-linked dominant disorder caused by mutation in the IKBKG gene, also called NEMO, and is often associated with classic dermatologic and dental findings.1 –3 Approximately one-third of affected patients demonstrate ocular involvement.2 Exam under anesthesia (EUA) with fluorescein angiography (FA) has been the mainstay of diagnostic evaluation to identify the disease at the earliest onset before vision-threatening complications such as retinal detach ment.Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a noninvasive imaging method that visualizes the
