Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) is one of the most recent advances in ophthalmic imaging. It allows a depth-resolved assessment of retinal and choroidal blood flow, exceeding the levels of detail commonly obtained with fluorescein or indocyanine green angiographies. One of the first applications of OCT-A was detecting choroidal neovascularizations (CNV) in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) within those flat irregular pigmented epithelium detachments (PED) that are observed commonly in cases of long-standing disease. Thanks to the long wavelength and to the poor influence of the light scattering phenomenon of OCT-A devices, a distinct CNV is easier to detect than FA. Qualitative and quantitative assessments of OCT-A findings in CSCR have been investigated within the last 3 years, both in clinical and experimental settings. This chapter constitutes an overview of all the potential findings and applications of OCT-A in CSCR to better understand how to translate its theoretical usefulness into clinical practice.

Abstract

Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) is one of the most recent advances in ophthalmic imaging. It allows a depth-resolved assessment of retinal and choroidal blood flow, exceeding the levels of detail commonly obtained with fluorescein or indocyanine green angiographies. One of the first applications of OCT-A was detecting choroidal neovascularizations (CNV) in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) within those flat irregular pigmented epithelium detachments (PED) that are observed commonly in cases of long-standing disease. Thanks to the long wavelength and to the poor influence of the light scattering phenomenon of OCT-A devices, a distinct CNV is easier to detect than FA. Qualitative and quantitative assessments of OCT-A findings in CSCR have been investigated within the last 3 years, both in clinical and experimental settings. This chapter constitutes an overview of all the potential findings and applications of OCT-A in CSCR to better understand how to translate its theoretical usefulness into clinical practice.
