Purpose: To evaluate whether frequent vigorous physical activity (PA) is significantly associated with active central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) and may represent a risk factor for CSCR.
Design: Case-control study.
Methods: This was a multicenter study.
Purpose: To visualize photoreceptors using the Spectralis High Magnification Module (HMM) in a case of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) and to correlate the findings with those of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A).
Observations: A 35-year-old Caucasian male presenting with chronic CSCR in the left eye was examined using HMM, OCT and OCT-A. The photoreceptors mosaic was assessed both in diseased and apparently uninvolved areas.
Article Synopsis
- - Choroidal rupture is an eye condition caused by trauma, leading to damage in the retinal layers, which can severely impact vision, especially if the macula is involved or there are other underlying health issues.
- - It presents as a whitish/yellowish crescent-shaped lesion seen during an eye exam, and various imaging techniques can help evaluate the severity and complications.
- - While there's no specific treatment for choroidal rupture itself, associated complications may require medical intervention, and the text discusses the condition's underlying mechanisms, imaging results, and management strategies for these complications.
The study aims to analyze the changes produced by half-dose photodynamic therapy (HD-PDT) in the choroid of eyes with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) applying the binarization method to spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT) and OCT Angiography (OCTA) images. SDOCT and OCTA were performed before, one hour, one week, and one month after HD-PDT. Binarization with a modified Niblack method and analysis by ImageJ were applied.
