description [Objective] To evaluate the clinical characteristics and multimodal imaging features of non-infectious inflammatory choroidal neovascularization (iCNV). [Methods] In this study retrospective, observational study, multimodal imaging examinations, including fluorescein angiography (FFA), indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), were used to observe the morphology of non-infectious iCNV in patients diagnosed with uveitis. The area of iCNV, CNV types, CNV morphology and other imaging characteristics were further analyzed. [Results] A total of 39 patients were included, with 48 affected eyes and 51 iCNV were identified. The average age of the included patients was 35.28±13.62 years. Among the affected eyes, 3 presented with multifocal CNV, and 92.16% of iCNV were classified as type 2 CNV. iCNV exhibited diverse morphologies, including focal-like pattern (15 cases, 29.41%), sea-fan pattern(16 cases, 31.37%), dead-tree pattern CNV(9 cases, 17.65%), stellar pattern (9 cases, 17.65%), and diffuse reticular (2 cases, 3.92%). Notably, tree-like and stellar pattern iCNV showed a significant correlation with non-active CNV (P<0.01). [Conclusions] Non-infectious iCNV is closely related to inflammatory lesions, exhibiting characteristic imaging features on SD-OCT and ICGA.OCTA allows for direct observation of the morphology of iCNV. These multimodal imaging characteristics provide important diagnostic criteria for clinicians, aiding in the formulation of effective treatment plans.
