Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCT-A) and Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSC)

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCT-A) Quantitative Assessment of Choriocapillaris Blood Flow in Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSC)

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCT-A) is a noninvasive imaging technique that allows one to see blood vessels in the retina. The investigating team used this approach in patients with acute, recurrent and persistent subtypes of Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSC) to check for possible Choriocapillaris hypoperfusion. The presence or absence of these microvascular changes was explored in both eyes of the patients and compared to a control group of healthy volunteers. The possibility of a correlation between Choriocapillaris flow deficits, age and spontaneous resolution of serous retinal detachment was also evaluated. This study was conducted in an effort to improve one's understanding of this disease and other pachychoroid disorders.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients with acute, recurrent or persistent forms of central serous chorioretinopathy

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy were not eligible for inclusion
