THE CLINICAL CORRELATION OF FUNDUS FLUORESCEIN ANGIOGRAPHY AND OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY IN CENTRAL SEROUS CHORIORETINOPATHY

Purpose: The clinical correlation of fundus uorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography in central serous chorioretinopathy. To study correlation of morphological alterations as studied by SD Aim: OCT with angiographic leaks in CSCR and its resolution and also study of improvement of visual acuity over a follow up period of 6 months. Settings and design: This is a prospective, cross sectional, non interventional study. Total of 43 eyes of Methods and material: 40 patients CSCR who underwent FFA and SD- OCT were included in the study. BCVA measurement by log MAR over 6 months of study. Statistical analysis: Chi- square test, Multivariate tests has been used to nd the signicance of study parameters of patients. The mean age of the patients was 41 ± 7.17 Results: years. sex prevalence male and females are 32,8 respectively. On FFA single angiographic leaks seen in 38 eyes and multiple angiographic leaks seen in 5 eyes with inkblot pattern in 37 eyes and smokestack pattern in 6 eyes out of 43 eyes. Among 43 eyes On SDOCT morphological changes like RPE protrusions in 21(48.8%)eyes, PED in 16(37.2%)eyes, sagging of posterior retinal layers in 8(18.6%)eyes, brous exudates in 7(16.2%)eyes are seen at 1st visit. On 6 months follow up RPE protrusions(P=0.007), PED(P=0.008), sagging of posterior retinal layers(P=0.016) show signicant resolution to near normal morphological pattern on OCT from 1st visit. Fibrous exudates(P=0.25) failed to resolve signicantly even at 6 months . Mean CFT of 43 eyes from 415±36 to 202±17 is improved in 6 months with P<0.05. Mean improvement of BCVA of 43 eyes from 0.31±0.27 to 0.07±0.19 seen in 6 months with P<0.05. SD OCT examinations Conclusions: showed detailed morphologic changes in eyes with CSCR including RPE protrusions, PED, sagging of posterior retinal layers, brous exudates. All morphological changes improved to near normal except brous exudates. Which further impresses the self limiting nature of this disease.
