Background: To map the choroidal vascularity index and compare two eyes in patients with unilateral central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). Methods: This was a retrospective, observational study performed in patients with unilateral CSCR. Choroidal thickness (CT) and Choroidal vascularity index (CVI) were measured and mapped in various zones according to the early treatment diabetic retinopathy (ETDRS) grid. Results: A total of 20 CSCR patients (20 study and 20 fellow eyes) were included in the study. Outer nasal region CT was seen to be significantly lower than central CT (p = 0.042) and inner nasal CT (p = 0.007); outer ring CT was significantly less than central (p = 0.04) and inner ring (p = 0.01) CT in CSCR eyes. On potting all the CVI values against the corresponding CT values, a positive correlation was seen in CSCR eyes (r = 0.54, p < 0.01), which was slightly weaker in fellow eyes (r = 0.3, p < 0.01) and a negative correlation was seen in healthy eyes (r = −0.262, p < 0.01). Conclusions: Correlation between CVI and CT was altered in CSCR eyes as compared to fellow and normal eyes with increasing CVI towards the center of the macula and superiorly in CSCR eyes.

Our study examined the choroidal thickness profile of children with myopic anisometropic amblyopia and compared the thickness with the fellow eyes. The choroidal thickness was measured with the enhanced depth imaging with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. Manual segmentations of the choroid were performed on a 25-raster horizontal scan. The choroidal thickness measurements of the 9 subfields defined by the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) were evaluated. The mean spherical equivalent of the amblyopic eyes was -10.80 ± 0.41 D and the fellow eyes was -4.40 ± 2.05 D. The mean best corrected visual acuity of the amblyopic eyes and the fellow eyes were 0.94 ± 0.27 and 0.14 ± 0.05 logMAR respectively. The amblyopic eyes have longer axial length (26.46 ± 0.44 mm) compared to the fellow eyes (23.59 ± 1.18 mm). The average subfoveal choroidal thickness was 124.30 ± 40.71 µm in the amblyopic eyes and 246.80 ± 58.63 µm in the fellow eyes. The horizontal and vertical distribution pattern of choroidal thickness in amblyopic eyes was different from the fellow eyes. In amblyopic eye the choroidal thickness reduced from the temporal region to the nasal region. The fellow eyes had thickest choroid at the subfoveal area, followed by the temporal region and nasal region. In conclusion, the choroid was thinner in the amblyopic eyes than that of the fellow eyes at all regions.

AIM: To study the changes in choroidal thickness in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) over a 3mo follow-up using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). METHODS: This prospective study included 60 eyes, both eyes of 20 patients (mean age: 33.65±5.24y) with classic acute unilateral central serous chorioretinopathy and normal fellow eye and 20 eyes as healthy controls. Fluorescein angiography and OCT were done. The subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT), central macular thickness (CMT), 1000 μm temporal and nasal to the centre of the fovea and the subretinal fluid were measured. RESULTS: There was a statistically significant difference in SFCT among the three groups at the three different locations. SFCT in eyes with CSCR (372.40±34.39 μm) was significantly greater than that in each of the unaffected fellow eyes (302.10±8.9 μm) and control eyes (279.80±14.49 μm) at the base line and after 3mo follow-up. The mean CMT in CSCR was 317±141.86 μm, with a statistically significant positive correlation between SFCT and CMT. CONCLUSION: The increase in the choroidal thickness at different locations as well as hyper-dilated and hyper-permeable vessels known as “pachychoroid” seems to play an important role in a broad spectrum of diseases that includes central serous chorioretinopathy.

Background: Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is a chorioretinal disease affecting mostly middle age males. It is marked by the serous detachment of the neurosensory layer at the macula. This review of the literature provides a framework of the current characteristic/relevant imaging findings of CSCR. Although the pathogenesis of CSCR is unclear, the choroid plays a major role and its changes are fundamental to the diagnosis and treatment of CSCR. Methods: A systematic literature search focusing on current multimodal imaging for CSCR was performed. Only articles reporting on original clinical data were selected, studies in a language other than English were included only if an English abstract was provided. Additional sources included articles cited in the references list of the first selected articles. We deduced imaging findings based on current and relevant literature on the topic. Results: We found that sub foveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) and choroidal vascularity index (CVI) were greater in eyes with acute CSCR than in eyes with chronic CSCR or normal eyes. There was increased choroidal thickness (CT) in the macula compared to peripapillary region. In healthy eyes, the highest CVI was found in the nasal region followed by the inferior, temporal, and superior quadrant. The area with the least CVI was the macula. In eyes with CSCR, 100% had asymmetric dominant vortex veins compared to 38% in normal eyes. Conclusion: Choroidal imaging has advanced the diagnosis of CSCR. This has led to numerous imaging biomarkers like CVI, CT, and hyper-reflective dots for early detection and possible prognostication of CSCR. More techniques like wide field scans and en face imaging are being employed to characterize the choroid in CSCR.
