ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate the retinal vessel oxygen saturation in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) cases among the Chinese.METHODS:
Relative oxygen saturation of retinal blood vessels was measured in 33 Chinese patients with single-eye CSC using the Oxymap T1 retinal oximeter. The contralateral eyes were the control. The mean saturation of the retinal arteriole (AS) and venule (VS), arteriovenous difference (AVS), and arteriole and venule diameters (AD, VD) was analyzed in the optic disc area and macular region.RESULTS:
In the optic disc area, the inferotemporal quadrant (TI) AS (93.2 ± 10.2%) and inferonasal quadrant (NI) VS (61.3 ± 7.3%) were higher in the affected eyes than in the contralateral eyes (88.7 ± 7.7% and 56.9 ± 6.5%) and AVS in NI (36.7 ± 10.4%) decreased compared to the contralateral eyes (41.5 ± 11.2%). The VD in TI was expanded (19.9 ± 2.5 pixels versus 18.1 ± 3.4 pixels). Around the macular region, AS was 93.6 ± 7.6%, higher than in the contralateral eyes (89.5 ± 6.3%). No other significant changes were found.CONCLUSIONS:
AS increased in the TI, and VS decreased in the NI in the eyes with CSC. In addition, AS also increased around the macular region, suggesting that these are contributors to CSC pathophysiology.
