Risk Factors for Focal Choroidal Excavation Concurrent with Chorioretinal Disease: Evaluated by Spectral-Domain OCT.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate the risk factors for patients with focal choroidal excavation (FCE) and their correlation with chorioretinal diseases.

Design

Retrospective cross-sectional study.

Subjects

Patients with FCE were enrolled, while healthy subjects were recruited for the control group.

Methods

The study collected demographic information, clinical features, and multimodal images. Parameters of FCE identified using spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT) were manually measured using built-in software and subsequently analyzed statistically.

Main outcome measures

Subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT), subexcavation choroidal thickness (SECT), and the greatest depth and width of each excavation were manually measured using built-in calipers in OCT software.
