AIM : To determine the angiographic characteristics of acute CSCR (central serous chorioretinopathy) in a solely Indian population and its comaparisiont with studies reported from the West as well as those involving the other Asian populations
MATERIAL AND METHODS : This retrospective study was carried out in a tertiary level hospital from July 2012 till June 2015. During this 3 year period, all patients who were diagnosed as acute CSR were subjected to a detailed fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and the number, location, shape and topography of the leakage points were then recorded and subsequently analysed.
RESULTS : A total of 376 patients, 542 eyes, of acute CSCR were seen during this period. A majority of patients were young (mean age 36.2 years) and males 340 (90.43%) .Bilateral and multifocal involvement was common and seen in 44.15 % and 55.72% of patients respectively. The inkblot leakage pattern was the commonest and found in 410 (75.65 %) of eyes. The most common site of fluorescein leakage was the macula i.e. 376 eyes (6
