| Abstract |
|
This study aimed to assess the potential usefulness of optical coherence tomography[OCT]for the diagnosis of central serous chorioretinopathy. OCT was used to examine 50 patients[50 eyes]whose initial examination disclosed the clinical diagnosis of central serous chorioretinopathy. Optical coherence tomographic section acquired directly through the fovea showed an increase of the neurosensory retina above an optically clear space corresponding to a fluid-filled cavity. Serial OCT were able to demonstrate a decrease in the sensory retina elevation from[900~120]micrometer t o [130~0]micrometer for 3 months of period. This resolution correlated with an improvement in the patient's visual acuity. OCT is potentially useful as a new, noninvasive diagnostic technique for quantitative examination by objectively monitoring the degree of serous retinal detachment in patients with central serous chorioretinopathy. |
