Peripapillary Choroidal Vascularity Outside the Macula in Patients With Central Serous Chorioretinopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate choroidal vascularity outside the macula in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).

Methods

Fifty normal controls and 103 patients with a history of CSC (31 with acute CSC, 32 with chronic CSC, and 40 with resolved CSC) were included. Using swept-source optical coherence tomography, we measured choroidal thickness (CT) and choroidal vascularity index (CVI) at the subfoveal and nasal peripapillary areas.

Results

Subfoveal CT in the acute CSC group was greater than that in all other groups (all P < 0.05). Peripapillary CT in the acute and chronic CSC groups was significantly greater than that in controls (all P ≤ 0.005). However, subfoveal and peripapillary CT in the resolved CSC group was not different from controls. Subfoveal CVI in the acute gr
