Abstrakt: Clinical Relevance: Choroidal and macular thickness assessments are essential to understand the evolution of central serous chorioretinopathy and could help in identifying patients more prone to recurrence.
Background: The aim of this work was to evaluate changes in the choroidal thickness and macular thickness in acute non-treated central serous chorioretinopathy during a one-year follow-up.
Methods: A prospective longitudinal study of 38 patients with central serous chorioretinopathy and 35 healthy controls at a tertiary care facility (Fundación Alcorcón University Hospital) was conducted. Choroidal and macular thicknesses were measured using enhanced-depth-imaging optical coherence tomography and subretinal fluid resolution and best-corrected visual acuity were evaluated, at baseline and 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. Prognostic factors determining the need for treatment were evaluated.
Results: Choroidal thickness decreased in eyes with central serous chorioretinopathy ( p < 0.001) but not in fellow eyes ( p = 0.24) during one-year follow-up since the acute episode. The estimated mean choroidal thickness in symptomatic eyes was 465 µm (SE: 17.18) at baseline and decreased 58.1 µm (CI 95%: 30.1-85.9) at 12 months (p < 0.001). Best-corrected visual acuity improved over time ( p = 0.037), with a decrease of logMAR 0.086 (CI95%: 0-0.172).The macular thickness changed over time ( p < 0.001), with a decrease from baseline of 124.6 µm (CI95%: 61.4-187.9). Subretinal fluid resolved in 67% (CI 95%: 51-82) of patients at 6 months. There was no significant association between baseline choroidal thickness, macular thickness, best-corrected visual acuity, age or sex and the need for treatment.
Conclusions: The choroidal thickness decreased in acute central serous chorioretinopathy episodes during a one-year follow-up. Subretinal fluid persisted in less than 20% of patients at the end of the one-year follow-up. No prognostic factors determining the need for treatment were found.
