    Choroidal hyperpermeability in central serous choroidopathy: a new concept?

    Archives of ophthalmology (Chicago, Ill. : 1960)·1995

    Computed tomography (CT) effectively identifies hemorrhagic and serous choroidal detachments, and ocular hypotony. CT imaging aids in differentiating these conditions by analyzing fluid characteristics and position dependency.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Choroidal detachments and ocular hypotony are significant ophthalmic conditions.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management and visual preservation.

    Observation:

    • Computed tomography (CT) was used to examine 20 patients.
    • Patients presented with hemorrhagic choroidal detachment, serous choroidal detachment, and/or ocular hypotony.

    Findings:

    • Hemorrhagic choroidal detachment appears as a localized, uniformly hyperdense area on CT, independent of patient position.
    • Serous choroidal detachment presents as a convex, thick line of increased density within the vitreous.
    • Inflammatory choroidal detachment shows diffuse, position-dependent fluid accumulation and uveoscleral thickening, resembling a ring.

  • Ocular hypotony is characterized by uveoscleral infolding on CT.

    • Implications:

    • CT imaging is valuable for localizing and differentiating various types of choroidal detachment.
    • CT aids in diagnosing ocular hypotony through characteristic uveoscleral infolding.
    • These CT findings enhance diagnostic accuracy in complex ophthalmic cases.
