Ophthalmic imaging including radiographic imaging, acoustic imaging and optical imaging, as a branch of medical imaging has developed rapidly. Optical imaging is very suitable for fundus examination because of the physiological characteristics of the eye. Ophthalmoscope and fundus fluorescein angiography are two historical stages of fundus optical imaging, which become an independent new discipline now, including infrared fundus photography, fundus autofluorescence, fundus fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography and optical coherence tomography. Comprehensive optical imaging plays an irreplaceable role in the diagnosis and treatment evaluation of ocular fundus diseases. Appropriate understanding the principles and significance of various optical imaging methods is very important for their clinical applications.
We report 19 cases(38eyes)of congenital retinoschisis,whose genetic characteristics conform to x-linked recessive heredity.Maculare lesions were found in all cases and 42.1%(16/38)of involved eyes had peripheral retinschisis.In addition to the typical manifestations of multiple cystic appearance of the central vascular veil,we discovered some infrequent sighs,i.e.displaced macula,peripheral globular retinoschisis,solitary vasculare elevation,and retinoschisis area surrounded by the retinal vasculature. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1993,9:232-233）
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 mmtimes;6 mm transverse area. The vertical and horizontal resolution was 5 mu;m and 18 mu;m respectively. The scan mode was 512times;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.
