Abstract:
In the study, 25 consecutive eyes of 25 patients (21 men, 4 women; mean age: 45 ± 8.5 years; range 30 to 58 years) with central serous chorioretinopathy were examined with optical coherence tomography (OCT) during acute phase and after the resolution of the retinal detachment. Cross-sectional retinal images through the center of the fovea were obtained from all eyes by OCT. The retinal thickness at the fovea center was measured. All of patients were conducted fluorescent angiographies. In the acute phase, neurosensory retina was thickened within the area of serous retinal detachment in all 25 eyes. The retinal thickness at the center of the fovea during the acute phase (range, 162 to 273µm; mean ± SD, 192 ±18 µm) was significantly thickened in comparison with that after resolution (range, 98 to 149 µm; mean± SD, 117±12.7µm). The retinal pigment epithelium was focally detached in five eyes
