Observation on the leakage point of acute central serous chorioretinopathy through optical coherence tomography: A prospective study
Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2021, Vol 36, Issue 2
Abstract
[Objective:] To observe the morphology and changes of leakage points in the natural course of acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). [Methods:] This study was a prospective study, using optical coherence tomography to observe the OCT morphology of leakage points in CSC patients from onset to 5 to 13 months after onset, measuring the thickness and ratio of Hall layer and the whole choroid, and then compare them. [Results:] A total of 20 patients were included in the study, including 14 males and 6 females, aged from 33 to 59, with the median being 41 years old. The follow-up time ranged from 5 months to 13 months. Minute retinal pigment epithelial detachments (PED) were observed in 19 patients. A small bulge of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) was observed in 1 patient. During the follow-up, only one patient totally recovered. Small separation between RPE and Bruch membrane still exit even subretinal fluid were absorbed completely in the other 19 patients. The thickness of Haller layer or choroid at the leakage point was significantly higher than that of the fovea (0.806±0.08 vs 0.863±0.06, P=0.003, at the first visit; 0.801±0.07 vs 0.851±0.06, P=0.004, at the last follow-up). [Conclusion:] This study observed that in the natural course of acute CSC patients, even if the subretinal fluid was absorbed, OCT still showed that there was persistent PED at the leakage point, thicker Haller layer and thinner inner choroid layer. These findings provided more clues to the pathogenesis of CSC.
