  • 简介:目的比较急性中心性浆液性脉络膜视网膜病变(CSC)患侧与对侧眼视网膜频域相干光断层扫描(OCT)图像特征。方法应用频域OCT对30例(60眼)单眼发病急性CSC患者患侧和对侧眼黄斑部视网膜显微结构进行检测,比较患侧组与对侧组黄斑中心凹外核层厚度、光感受器层(IS/OS层)、视网膜色素上皮(RPE)形态差异。结果所有30例患者患侧眼均有不同程度黄斑部视网膜浆液性脱离,对侧眼中有4眼(13.3%)存在轻度视网膜浆液性脱离;患侧组黄斑中心凹外核层厚度均值为(95.32±24.87)μm,对侧组为(98.80±14.36)μm,两组差异无统计意义(t=1.627,P=0.110)。患侧组中IS/OS层厚度均匀一致者12眼(40.0%),对侧组20眼(66.7%);患侧组IS/OS层厚度均匀一致伴内外节缺损、不均、凸起增厚者共18眼(60.O%),对侧组共10眼(33.3%),差异有统计意义(X2=4.28,P=0.038)。患侧组中出现RPE异常者有24眼(80.0%),对侧组中有8眼(26.7%),差异有统计意义(x。=17.143,P=0.000)。结论频域OCT能清晰显示急性CSC患者细微病理结构改变,单眼发病CSC患者中一部分对侧眼存在IS/OS层和RPE异常,但是其发生率较患侧眼低。(中国眼耳鼻喉科杂志,2013,13:165—167)
