Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Findings in Vision-Threatening Rhino-Orbital Cerebral Mucor Mycosis—A Prospective Analysis. Diagnostics (Basel). 2022 Dec 8; 12(12):3098. Figure 1. PMCID: PMC9777225. License: CC BY.
Serial fundus photographs and SD-OCT images of a representative case (case 5), at baseline (A) Fundus photographs showing diffuse retinal whiting with papilla-macular fold, boxcar segmentation of the vessel, absence of cherry red spot (B) The corresponding SD-OCT line scan shows diffuse retinal thickening, increased inner retinal hyperreflectivity (white star) with shadowing effect on the outer retina (white asterisk). Along with these retinal folds, inner limiting membrane (ILM) detachment (empty arrow), vitreous haze and vitreous cells (arrowhead) are also seen. At three weeks (C) fundus photographs show a reduction in the area of diffuse retinal whiting, with few cotton wool spots and few hemorrhages. (D) On SD-OCT disruption of all retinal layers (white star) along with optically empty
Yang et al.(2026)は、脳梗塞を初発症状としたROCM 7例を報告した5)。全例で髄液mNGSによりRhizopus属を検出したが、培養は全例陰性であった。診断までの中央値は5日、唯一の生存者は2日で診断された(死亡率85.7%)。mNGSはROCMの早期診断ツールとして有望であり、従来の培養・血清マーカーが陰性の場合に特に価値が高い。
