Evaluation of retrobulbar blood flow with color doppler ultrasonography in patients with central serous chorioretinopathy

ABSTRACT Background To compare retrobulbar blood flow in patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) and healthy subjects using color Doppler ultrasonography. Methods Thirty patients (age 23–54 years) with a first episode of acute CSC and 30 healthy controls (age 30–44 years) were evaluated...

Summary:ABSTRACT Background To compare retrobulbar blood flow in patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) and healthy subjects using color Doppler ultrasonography. Methods Thirty patients (age 23–54 years) with a first episode of acute CSC and 30 healthy controls (age 30–44 years) were evaluated. The peak systolic blood flow velocity, end‐diastolic velocity (EDV), resistance index (RI), and pulsatility index (PI) were measured in the ophthalmic, posterior ciliary, and central retinal arteries. Results The posterior ciliary and central retinal artery EDV were lower in the patient group than in the control group, whereas RI and PI values were significantly higher (p
