AIM– To examine the choriocapillaries in patients with Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) using Optical coherence tomographic angiography (OCTA)
Methods– Prospective, observational, clinical study including 20 consecutive patients presenting with CSCR in tertiary eye care centre. All eyes underwent OCTA and flow characteristics were analysed.
Results– Study included 21 eyes of 20 patients with mean age of 38.7 ± 8.61 years. Acute CSCR was seen in 19 eyes while chronic CSCR in 2 eyes. Mean BCVA on presentation of involved eye was 0.468 ± 0.463 logMAR. On analysis, high intensity signals corresponding to increased choriocapillaries flow was seen in 20 eyes (95.2%). 13 eyes (61.9%) had dark areas corresponding to subretinal fluid while 5 eyes (23.8%) had dark spots associated with Pigment epithelial detachment (PED). PED with high intensity signals were observed in 3 eyes (14.3%).
Conclusion – OCTA can be used as a noninvasive tool for assessing the diagnosis and progression of CSCR
