Objective To evaluate the morphological changes of retinal neuroepithelium of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) by Fourierdomain optical coherence tomography(FD-OCT). Methods FD-OCT scan was performed on 92 eyes of 88 patients with CSC. The CSC diagnosis was established by international visual acuity chart, slit-lamp microscope, direct/indirect ophthalmoscope, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA). 6 mm horizontal line OCT scan was performed utilizing the infrared light emitted by diode, the scan depth was 2 mm with a 6 mm times;6 mm transverse area. The vertical and horizontal resolution was 5 mu;m and 18 mu;m respectively. The scan mode was 512 times;128. Results The uplift of retinal neuroepithelium, separation or abnormal band of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) were found in all eyes. There were 83 eyes (90.22%) of pigment epithelial detachment (PED), 68 eyes (73.91%) of nodular protruding of RPE, 5 eyes (5.43%) of localized RPE defects in the PED lesion, 36 eyes (39.14%) of dust-like reflects in the subretinal space and 59 eyes (64.14%) of granular deposits in the subretinal space. Conclusion Fourier-domain OCT scans can detect detailed morphologic changes in the retina of CSC patients.
