“…Acute CSC was diagnosed using FA, ICGA, and OCT in the light of previously reported findings. 13 No treatment was given to the patients during the first 6 months. The patients were treated with PDT after a minimum time of 6 months from the initial signs of the disease, if they did not show any sign of resolution or if any increase was detected in SRF.…”

Purpose To evaluate the resolution time and the recurrence rate of acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) after spontaneous resolution and low-fluence photodynamic therapy (PDT). Methods Case-control study: The CSC patients who were admitted to our clinic for the first time were included. No treatment was given during the first 6 months. Patients were treated with PDT after 6 months from the initial signs of the disease, if they did not show any sign of resolution. The patients who showed a significant decrease in subretinal fluid after month 6 were not scheduled for PDT. The primary outcomes were the resolution time and the recurrence rate after the first episode. Secondary outcome measures were the change in BCVA and CRT during the follow up. Results A total of 77 consecutive eyes of 77 patients were included, 41 eyes (53.2%) with spontaneously resolved CSC and 36 eyes (46.8%) with PDT-treated CSC. The initial resolution time was 4.1 ± 3.2 months in spontaneous resolution group, and 8.1 ± 0.8 months in PDT group, respectively (Po0.001). The recurrence rate was 51.2% in spontaneous resolution group, and 25% in PDT group (P = 0.01). The change in BCVA from baseline to the last follow-up visit was statistically significant in both groups (P = 0.002, P = 0.003, respectively). The change in CRT from baseline to the last follow up was also statistically significant in both groups (P = 0.002, P = 0.003, respectively). Conclusions The recurrence rate of acute CSC was lower in PDT-treated patients than the spontaneously resolved patients.

“…A variety of risk factors have been associated with CSC, including psychological stress, type A personality, hypertension, systemic steroid usage, pregnancy, and genetic susceptibility [3]. The exact pathogenesis of the disease is not fully understood, but abnormalities in the inner choroidal layers, such as venous congestion, ischemia and/or inflammation, lead to choroidal hyper permeability, secondary RPE damage, and serous detachment of the neural retina [3][4][5]. CSC is self-limited in the majority of patients, who usually retain excellent vision.…”

Objective: To compare the optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings in males and females with acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). Materials and methods:In this retrospective study, the OCT scans of 8 females (Group 1) and 16 males (Group 2) cases with acute CSCR which were diagnosed based on clinical, ophthalmological and OCT findings and which was followed in our hospital were retrospectively reviewed. The existence of the OCT findings and patterns regarding CSCR and sub-foveal choroidal thicknesses (SFCTs) were compared.Results: Serous macula detachment (SMD) was present in all of the female and male cases. The most common OCT finding was the brush-border pattern (6 cases, 75%) except SMD and retina pigment epithelium (RPE) bulging in females, and RPE bulging (14 cases, 87.5%) except SMD in males. There was no statistically significant difference in the frequency of OCT findings and patterns between both groups (p>0.05). The mean SFCTs of the eyes with CSCR in Group 1 and Group 2 were 346.08±32.1 µm (ranged from 338 to 365 µm) and 351.32±36.5 µm (ranged from 344 to 376 µm), respectively. The difference between SFCTs in the affected eyes was also not statistically significant (p>0.05).
