Research progress of multimodal imaging in chronic central serous chorioretinopathy

Chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (cCSC) is characterized by extensive retinochoroidal abnormalities. This includes diffuse retinal pigment epitheliopathy and serous retinal detachment associated with choroidal vasodilatation,often involving the macula and cause visual impairment. It was orig...

description Chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (cCSC) is characterized by extensive retinochoroidal abnormalities. This includes diffuse retinal pigment epitheliopathy and serous retinal detachment associated with choroidal vasodilatation,often involving the macula and cause visual impairment. It was originally considered that it might evolve from acute CSC, but recent studies have shown significant clinical differences between the two. It tends to recur, be prolonged,and have an unfavorable prognosis. With the advent of new multimodal imaging (MMI) techniques such as optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), ultra-wide-field imaging, and en face reconstruction imaging, along with the advancement of artificial intelligence and machine learning, more significant cCSC imaging characteristics have been constantly emerging. This article provides a comprehensive overview of cCSC’s imaging features across various modalities, including fundus photography, fundus autofluorescence (FAF), optical coherence tomography (OCT),fluorescein angiography (FFA), indocyanine green angiography, and OCTA. It also explores the application of artificial intelligence in identifying CSC classifications and OCT biomarkers. Different imaging techniques have their own advantages in the diagnosis and study of cCSC, such as FAF being an effective means to assess disease progression and changes, OCT providing a more intuitive observation of retinal structural changes, FFA being an important tool for identifying leakage points, and OCTA possibly being the best means to assess choroidal microcirculation. These MMI research advancements offer crucial insights for clinicians, aiding in more accurate diagnosis and effective treatment,thereby potentially improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
