Imaging Polarimetry in Central Serous Chorioretinopathy

Imaging polarimetry in central serous chorioretinopathy.

PURPOSE To evaluate a noninvasive technique to detect the leakage point of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSR), using a polarimetry method. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. METHODS SETTING Institutional practice. PATIENTS We examined 30 eyes of 30 patients with CSR. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Polarimetry images were recorded using the GDx-N (Laser Diagnostic Technologies). We computed ...

Atypical Central Serous Chorioretinopathy

Bullous central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is a rare variant of CSCR characterized by severe serous retinal detachment which especially involves the inferior quadrants. Corticosteroid therapy administered for systemic or ocular misdiagnoses may induce and exacerbate CSCR. The purpose of this study was to report diagnosis and treatment results of an unusual case of bullous CSCR induced by s...

Central serous chorioretinopathy.

BACKGROUND Central serous chorioretinopathy is a condition typically affecting young adults between 25 and 50 years of age. It is predominating in type A personality trait men. Central serous chorioretinopathy is defined clinically as a detachment of the sensory retina that is commonly unilateral but can also be bilateral. Laser photocoagulation has been used widely with central serous choriore...

Central serous chorioretinopathy.

The pathogenesis of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is still not fully understood. The involvement of corticosteroids is undisputed, although their exact role has not been clarified; other parts of the underlying mechanism of CSC have been mainly elucidated by imaging techniques such as fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography. Even though most cases of CSC are self-limiting, severe...
