Key Points

To explore retinal and choroidal changes in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and their relationship to disease severity.
Utilized near-infrared reflectance imaging (NIR) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) for assessment.
Measured subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) and superficial capillary plexus (SCP) metrics.
Conducted a comparative analysis of imaging techniques regarding sensitivity and quantitative insights.
NIR is more sensitive than OCTA in detecting choroidal abnormalities.
Reduced SFCT confirms involvement of choroid in NF1.
Higher SCP metrics may indicate early remodeling or dysregulation in patients.

Abstract

NIR is more sensitive than OCTA for detecting choroidal abnormalities, whereas OCTA provides complementary quantitative insights. Reduced SFCT confirms choroidal involvement in NF1, and higher SCP metrics may reflect early remodeling or endothelial dysregulation. Larger, longitudinal studies are needed to validate DCP changes as potential markers of disease burden.
