Numerous theories have been proposed regarding the pathophysiology of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSR) with no consensus on its exact etiology. Research has led to a variety of treatment possibilities which target specific mechanisms. Multimodal imaging, including fundus auto-fluorescence (FAF), optic coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein angiography, and indocyanine green angiography identifies vascular and structural alterations which confirm the diagnosis of CSR and effectively tailors treatment and helps maximize visual prognosis in these patients. Imaging characteristics of CSR and case examples will be explored.
De nombreuses théories ont été proposées concernant la pathophysiologie de la choriorétinopathie séreuse centrale (CRSC), sans consensus sur son étiologie exacte. La recherche a mené à diverses possibilités de traitement qui ciblent des mécanismes précis. L’imagerie multimodale, y compris l’autofluorescence du fond de l’œil (FAF), la tomographie par cohérence optique (TCO), l’angiographie fluorescéinique et l’angiographie au vert d’indocyanine, identifie les altérations vasculaires et structurelles qui peuvent confirmer le diagnostic de CRSC et adapter efficacement le traitement pour aider à maximiser le pronostic visuel chez ces patients. Les caractéristiques d’imagerie de la CRSC et des exemples de cas seront explorés.
