Different Patterns of Central Serous Chorio-retinopathy on Fundus Fluorescein Angiography.
Ophthalmol Update Jan ;15(2):65-7.

Purpose: To study the different patterns of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) on fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) Materials and Methods: The hospital based descriptive study of 16 male patients was conducted in department of ophthalmology in Akhtar Saeed trust hospital from January 2014 to June 2016. These patients were selected from outpatient department (OPD). The diagnosis was clinical. All patients who have clinical diagnosis of CSCR were sent for FFA (fundus Fluorescein Angiography). Serial photographs were taken up to 30 - 45 minutes with Topcon digital fundus camera. Results: In the hospital based study 16 male patients with clinical diagnosis of CSCR were included. The age range was 26 - 50 years with a mean age of 30.62 years. Total numbers of eyes were 17, out of which 15 had unilateral disease and one patient had bilateral disease. The clinical features of patients with CSCR were blurred vision, positive central scotoma, decrease in contrast sensitivity, increasing hypermetropia and dome shaped elevation at macula. The duration of visual symptoms on presentation was from 7 days to 2 months (average 2 weeks). On FFA ink blot pattern was seen in 13 eyes and 4 eyes showed smoke stack appearance. Conclusion: On FFA ink blot pattern is seen more frequently than smoke stack pattern in patients of CSCR.
