Abstract

PURPOSE
To analyze the optical coherence tomography (OCT) result at the area of hyperfluorescence by scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) in central serous chorioretinopathy. METHODS: We investigated sensory detachment, pigment epithelial detachment (PED), choroidal neovascularization (CNV), and retinal pigment epithelial atrophy using OCT in the area of hyperfluorescein by scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) in 29 eyes of 29 patients with CSC. RESULTS: Of 29 eyes, no specific finding was noted in 19 eyes. Small PED corresponding to the leaking point was noted in 3 eyes, large serous PED with leaking point in 2 eyes, hemorrhagic PED in 1 eye, subretinal precipitate and PED in 1 eye, and retinal pigment epithelial atrophy in 2 eyes. CONCLUSIONS: OCT provided intuitive and objective information on the pathophysiologic state of the retinal pigment epithelial layer at the area of hyperfluorescence by SLO in CSC.
