Nailfold Videocapillaroscopy in Patients with Central Serous Chorioretinopathy and Its Relationship to Morphological and Functional Findings
The aim of the study was to evaluate the results of nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) in patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) and their correlation with different functional, morphological features and general risk factors.

| description | The aim of the study was to evaluate the results of nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) in patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) and their correlation with different functional, morphological features and general risk factors. Material and methods: The examined group included 59 CSC patients (14 F, 45 M, mean age 47.2 ± 9.4) and 53 healthy controls (13 F, 40 M, mean age 46 ± 11.5). The NVC was qualified as a normal or abnormal pattern. In the CSC group, the ophthalmoscopy, angio-Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT-A), OCT and microperimetry were performed. The medical history regarding CSC, chronic general disorders and known risk factors was recorded. Results: In the CSC group an abnormal NVC pattern was more common (33.88% CSC vs. 7.54%, <i>p</i> < 0.001). Dilated apical part of capillaries, microaneurysmal dilatation, megacapillaries, fresh microhaemorrhages, bizarre and broken capillaries were observed only in CSC patients. Dilation of capillaries (47.56% vs. 13.21%, <i>p</i> = 0.004), ramified capillaries and neoangiogenesis (38.98% vs. 5.66%, <i>p</i> < 0.001), glomerular loops (32.20% vs. 1.88% <i>p</i> < 0.001) were more frequent in the CSC group. Conclusions: The presence of various NVC abnormalities confirms microvascular involvement in CSC pathogenesis. The results correlate with visual acuity, microperimetry, OCT data and stress. The NVC technique may play a useful diagnostic and prognostic role in CSC. |
