  • Title: Findings of Optical Coherence Tomographic Angiography at the Choriocapillaris Level in Central Serous Chorioretinopathy.
    Author: Shinojima A, Kawamura A, Mori R, Fujita K, Yuzawa M.
    Journal: Ophthalmologica; 2016; 236(2):108-13. PubMed ID: 27606681.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To reveal vascular signals at the choriocapillaris level in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) using optical coherence tomographic angiography (OCTA). PROCEDURES: We analyzed vascular signals at the choriocapillaris level in 58 CSC and 51 contralateral eyes by OCTA (RTVue XR Avanti with AngioVue; Optovue Inc., Fremont, Calif., USA). Data analysis included age, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), disease duration and serous retinal detachment (SRD) height. RESULTS: Morphologically, abnormal signals at the choriocapillaris level were detected in all CSC eyes (100%), and then classified into three patterns. Age, BCVA, disease duration and SRD height showed no significant correlation with signal patterns. Thirty-one contralateral eyes (61%) showed abnormal signals at the choriocapillaris level on OCTA, while 20 (39%) had a normal pattern. CONCLUSIONS: OCTA revealed three types of abnormal signals not only in CSC eyes but also in fellow eyes without SRD. OCTA may provide information for elucidating the underlying pathogenesis of CSC.
