Objective To asses the potential of a new imaging technique,opticl coherence tomography(OCT),for diagnosis and monitoring of central serous choroidoretinopathy(CSC). Methods Thirty cases (32eyes) with CSC were examined by ophthalmoscopy, fundus fluorescein angiography and OCT. Some patients were monitored by OCT. Results Among images of OCT in 32 eyes with CSC, 27 eyes showed serous neurosensory detachement,2 eyes appeared retinal pigment epithelial detachement and 3 eyes combined neurosensory detachement with pigment epithelial detachement.Monitoring images of OCT in ll eyes revealed absorption of serous fluid and decrease of neurosensory detachment. Conclusions OCT is potentially useful as a new and noninvasive diagnostic technique for quantitative examination of patients with CSC and objectively monitoring the clinical course of the serous retinal detachement in this disease.
