Abstract
Abnormalities in the choroidal circulation have been suggested as the causative factor in the pathogenesis of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). Fluorescein angiography (FAG) has not been particularly useful in identifying specific choroidal defects in CSC, because of limitations in imaging with this technique. Recent technologic advaces in indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) allow enhanced imaging of the choroid and other subretinal structures in comparison with FAG. Both ICG-A and FAG were performed in 44 patients (51 eyes) with various forms of csc to investigate choroidal abnormalities. CSC was charaterized by such ICG-A findings as choroidal hyperpermeability surrounding active leakages, additional focal and multifocal areas of choroidal hyperpermeability not associated with fluorescein leakage, pigment epithelial detachment, hypofluorescence around the leakage, and focal or multifocal hypofluorescent spots in the posterior pole and the area of neurosensory retinal detachment. We believe that ICG-A will play an important role in diagnosing and predicting recurrence of CSJ
