Morphological Changes of Outer Retinal Layers in Acute Central Serous Chorioretinopathy Evaluated by Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate changes in thickness beyond the external limiting membrane ELM and the photoreceptor inner and outer segment junction IS/OS in patients with acute central serous chorioretinopathy CSC and a granular brush border appearance of a detached posterior retina.Material and Methods: The retinal area below the ELM at a 1,000 µm diameter zone centered on the fovea, and the greatest thickness below the IS/OS band in this area was measured by optical coherence tomography OCT at baseline, as well as at the 3- and 6-month visits.Results: Sub-IS/OS thickness and the sub-ELM area did not differ statistically between baseline and month 3; however, they significantly increased from month 3 to month 6.Conclusion: In patients with CSC and a brush appearance of the posterior border of the detached retina, sub-IS/OS thickness and sub-ELM area increased after 3 months if the retina was not reattached
