Noninfectious uveitis refers to a category of inflammatory diseases involving the uvea, vitreous, optic disk and retina, with the exception of infectious factors or masquerade syndrome. These kind of blinding diseases are frequently recurrent, and the diagnosis and follow-up require fundus imaging techniques. OCT angiography (OCTA) is a rapid, noninvasive and quantifiable blood flow imaging modality that provides a depiction of the microvasculature morphology of the retinal and choroidal through different segmentation and detects the abnormal blood perfusion as well as the neovascularization. OCTA plays an important role in the diagnosis, assessment and follow-up for anterior uveitis, posterior uveitis and pan-uveitis such as Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease, Behçet’s disease, ocular sarcoidosis, birdshot chorioretinopathy, serpiginous choroiditis, multifocal choroiditis, punctate inner choroidopathy, acute zonal occult outer retinopathy, acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy, multiple evanescent white dot syndrome, and also provides clue about their pathophysiologic mechanisms.
