Comparison of Nailfold Videocapillaroscopy with Retinal and Choroidal Vascular Parameters in Patients with Central Serous Chorioretinopathy.
Journal of clinical medicine(2023)
摘要
AIM:This study seeks to evaluate the results of nailfold videocapillaroscopies (NVCs) among patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) and their correlation with the choroid and retinal parameters.MATERIAL AND METHODS:The examined group included 152 patients with acute, recurrent, chronic and neovascular CSC (34 F, 118 M, mean age 45.9 ± 8.9) and 41 healthy controls (12 F, 29 M, mean age 47 ± 11.5). The NVC examination, ophthalmoscopy, angio-OCT and OCT were performed. In addition, the medical history regarding chronic general disorders and known risk factors were recorded.RESULTS:Abnormal NVC patterns and the dilated apical part of capillaries were found only in CSC patients (p = 0.000). Neoangiogenesis was observed in 25 acute (58.14%), 22 recurrent (42.31%), 16 chronic (36.36%) and 5 neovascular patients (45.45%) and 2 control subjects (4.88%) (p = 0.000). Glomerular capillaries were found in 8 acute (18.6%), 17 recurrent (31.48%), 25 chronic (56.82%) and 8 neovascular patients (72.73%) (p = 0.000). Meandering capillaries were more common in acute and recurrent CSC and glomerular capillaries were more common in chronic and aneurysmal dilations in neovascular CSC.CONCLUSIONS:The observed digital microcirculation abnormalities in patients with CSC, such as dilation, meandering, tortuosity and glomerular, may confirm systemic micro-vasculopathy. The potential role of the NVC examination in assessing the CSC prognosis requires further evaluation.
