Geographic filling delay of the choriocapillaris in the region of dilated asymmetric vortex veins in central serous chorioretinopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate the correlation between geographic filling delays in the choriocapillaris using indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) images and dilated vortex veins in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).

Design

Observational case series.

Participants

Thirty-two eyes of 32 patients, 21 with acute and 11 with chronic CSC.

Methods

Digital ICGA and fluorescein angiography (FA), with videoangiography, and swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) for B-scan and en-face choroidal imaging were performed. Overlapping of the filling delay areas in the choriocapillaris in the early-phase ICGA images and the region of dilated vortex veins in the en-face images were analyzed. The consistency of both areas was graded as follows. Grade 3: filling delay ar
