ICC angiography and retinal pigment epithelial decompensation (central serous chorioretinopathy and diffuse retinal pigment epitheliopathy)
No full textPurpose: To evaluate the prognosis of chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) and to assess whether certain clinical and angiographic features are associated with increased risk of vision loss. Methods: Ail of the 51 patients with chronic CSC, who had received a baseline evaluation with fluorescein angiography (FA) and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), during the last 5 years were retrospectively included in the study. Results: The mean age was 49 years(range: 28-77 years). Sixteen out of 102 eyes (15.7%) of 14 patients lost at least 3 lines (0.3logMAR) after a mean follow-up of 34.7 months (range : 12-72 months). Logistic regression showed that CSC onset more than 7 years before inclusion (odds ratio: 4.3, p=0.024) and having areas of confluent RPE atrophy with FA at baseline (at least 2 disc diameters, odds ratio: 4.9, p=0.020) were independently associated with vision loss. Choroidal neovascularization was observed during follow-up in 4 eyes of 3 patients. Conclusion: Disease duration of more than 7 years and the presence of confluent RPE atrophy independently characterized CSC patients at higher risk for visual loss in our series

No full textBackground: The spectrum of ocular indications in which intravitreal injections of triamcinolone acetonide may be therapeutically useful has recently been expanding. Methods: Prospective clinical interventional case study in a young adult male with florid proliferative diabetic retinopathy (FPDR). Results: A greater reduction of retinal thickening and fluorescein leakage from retinal new vessels was observed in the right eye after intravitreal injection of triamcinolone followed by scatter panretinal photocoagulation (PKP) than in the left eye treated only by laser. Conclusion: Intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide may be a useful adjunct to scatter panretinal photocoagulation for FPDR
