    Choroidal hyperpermeability in central serous choroidopathy: a new concept?

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

    Computed tomography (CT) effectively distinguishes serous, hemorrhagic, and inflammatory choroidal detachments. CT imaging provides specific Hounsfield unit ranges for differentiating detachment types and identifying ocular hypotony.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Accurate localization and differentiation of choroidal detachment are crucial for effective ophthalmic treatment.
    • Computed tomography (CT) offers a non-invasive method for evaluating intraocular structures.
    • Distinguishing between serous, hemorrhagic, and inflammatory choroidal detachments impacts clinical management.

    Observation:

    • CT demonstrated value in differentiating serous, hemorrhagic, and scleral infolding.
    • Specific mean attenuation values (Hounsfield units) were identified for fresh hemorrhagic (74 HU), serosanguineous (50 HU), and serous (46 HU) choroidal detachments.
    • Inflammatory choroidal detachment exhibited uveoscleral enhancement (ring sign) and fluid accumulation.

    Findings:

    • Mean CT numbers provide quantitative differentiation of choroidal detachment types.

  • The 'ring sign' on CT indicates inflammatory choroidal detachment.
  • The CT 'umbrella sign' is characteristic of ocular hypotony.

    • Implications:

    • CT imaging can guide diagnosis and treatment strategies for various choroidal detachments.
    • Quantitative CT values enhance diagnostic accuracy in ophthalmology.
    • CT findings like the 'ring sign' and 'umbrella sign' aid in identifying specific pathological conditions.
