Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a controversial disease both in terms of clinical classification and choice of therapeutic strategy. Choroidal layers, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), photoreceptors, and retina are involved to varying degrees. Beyond well-known symptoms raising the clinical suspect of CSC and slit-lamp fundus examination, multimodal imaging plays a key role in assessing the extent of chorioretinal structural involvement. Subretinal fluid (SRF) originating from the choroid leaks through one or multiple RPE defects and spreads into the subretinal space. Spontaneous fluid reabsorption is quite common, but in some eyes, resolution can be obtained only after treatment. Multiple therapeutic strategies are available, and extensive research identified the most effective procedures. Imaging has carved a significant role in guiding the choice of the most appropriate strategy for each single CSC eye. Multiple biomarkers have been identified, and all of them represent a diagnostic and prognostic reference point. This review aims to provide an updated and comprehensive analysis of the current scientific knowledge about the role of imaging in planning the treatment in eyes affected by CSC.
中心性浆液性脉络膜视网膜病变(CSC)在临床分类和治疗策略选择方面都是一种存在争议的疾病。脉络膜层、视网膜色素上皮(RPE)、光感受器和视网膜都不同程度地受到累及。除了那些引发CSC临床怀疑的众所周知的症状以及裂隙灯眼底检查外,多模态成像在评估脉络膜视网膜结构受累程度方面起着关键作用。源自脉络膜的视网膜下液(SRF)通过一个或多个RPE缺损渗漏并扩散到视网膜下间隙。自发的液体吸收很常见,但在一些眼中,只有经过治疗才能实现消退。有多种治疗策略可供选择,广泛的研究确定了最有效的治疗方法。成像在为每只CSC患眼选择最合适的治疗策略方面发挥了重要作用。已经确定了多种生物标志物,所有这些标志物都代表了一个诊断和预后参考点。本综述旨在对目前关于成像在规划CSC患眼治疗中的作用的科学知识进行更新和全面分析。
