“… 4 Moreover, almost a dozen cases of association between polypoidal lesions and choroidal nevi have been described. 5 – 12 This association may indicate a link between choroidal nevi and the pachychoroidal spectrum proposed by some authors. So far until now, the relationship between choroidal nevi and pachychoroidal disorders has not been studied.…”

“…These findings also correlate with a growing number of reports on coincidence of choroidal nevi and polypoidal lesions since both CSCR and polypoidal vasculopathy belong to the pachychoroidal spectrum. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Dark-field SLO, a modification of confocal infrared SLO, used in this study previously demonstrated a high sensitivity and specificity in the detection of the choroidal nevi with an area under the ROC curve of 1.0. 13 This fact as well as routine documentation of the CSCR cases using this option in our center allowed us to conduct this study.…”

Background: A number of articles report the association of polypoidal lesions and choroidal nevi; however, the relationship between choroidal nevi and pachychoroidal disorders has not been studied. Objectives: To study the prevalence of choroidal nevi in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) patients and to elucidate potential differences in the clinical characteristics of CSCR in patients with and without choroidal nevi. Design: Case-control study. Methods: This study included a retrospective analysis of medical records and multimodal imaging data of CSCR patients and a prospective evaluation of the prevalence of the choroidal nevi in age- and sex-matched healthy controls. All participants received comprehensive ophthalmic examination and multimodal imaging including infrared scanning laser ophthalmoscopy in dark-field mode to detect choroidal nevi in the central 40° × 60° region. Results: A total of 199 CSCR patients (160 males and 39 females, 47.9 ± 9.4 years) and 184 age-matched healthy individuals (139 males and 45 females, 44.8 ± 12.5 years) were included. Choroidal nevi were detected in 24 (12.1%) CSCR patients and 10 (5.4%) healthy controls ( p = 0.01). CSCR patients with choroidal nevi had statistically significantly higher subfoveal choroidal thickness, lower best-corrected visual acuity, and lower central retinal thickness ( p < 0.05) than CSCR patients without choroidal nevi. The odds ratio for the presence of chronic CSCR in patients with choroidal nevi was 27.0 (95% CI: 3.1–231.9, p = 0.003). Conclusion: The prevalence of choroidal nevi among patients with CSCR is higher than in age- and sex-matched healthy population. Choroidal nevi may be associated with chronic CSCR.

“…The diagnosis of choroidal nevus-associated CNV relies on clinical examination and appropriate multimodal imaging. Type 1 CNV, Type 2 CNV, and polypoidal choroidal neovascularization (PCV) [15] have all been described in the context of choroidal nevus with varying incidence. Typical ophthalmoscopic signs of CNV including subretinal hemorrhage, SRF, and exudation may be seen.…”

Choroidal nevi are usually found incidentally during routine ophthalmoscopic examination. The prevalence ranges from 4 to 8% in general white population [1,2] making it the most common benign melanocytic intraocular tumor in adults [3]. Clinically, choroidal nevi appear as flat or slightly elevated, round or oval pigmented gray-brown (and sometimes amelanotic) lesions with well-defined margins. They are located deep to the retina, evenly distributed in all four quadrants of fundus and more common in postequatorial region [4].Although mostly asymptomatic, choroidal nevi should be observed for possible malignant transformation [5]. They may result in decreased visual acuity by inducing secondary changes in overlying retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and retina including RPE atrophy or secondary fibrous metaplasia, pigment epi-
