Downes SM, Mall SP, Al-Khuzaei S, Chadha R, Gibson A, Chong V, Bird AC. Combined central serous chorioretinopathy, hypermetropia, short axial length, chorioretinal folds, enlarged/thickened ocular coats, with varying association of scleral changes (CHAFES). BMC Ophthalmol 2023; 23:322. [PMID: 37452273 PMCID: PMC10349429 DOI: 10.1186/s12886-023-03038-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2023] [Accepted: 06/12/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To describe a condition with the following features: chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CCSC), chorioretinal folds, scleral changes (including any of the following flattened or 'squared off' posterior pole, 'T sign', or thickened ocular coats), accompanied by a short axial length and hypermetropia in a series of 7 patients. METHODS The case notes of 7 patients presenting with a combination of CSC, choroidal folds scleral changes and hypermetropia were reviewed as part of a retrospective case series. Corrected visual acuities, serial refraction, colour imaging, fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography findings, together with B-ultrasound scan features were recorded, with axial length measurements as available (< 23.3 mm was defined as short). RESULTS The study included 14 eyes of 7 subjects (2 females and 5 males) with a primary presentation of central vision disturbance. All patients showed signs of previous or current episodes of the following features in at least one eye: CSC (5/7 bilateral); choroidal folds (6/7 bilateral), thickening of ocular coats in the 5 in whom this was measured, at least one scleral abnormality on ultrasound in at least one eye. A short axial length at final appointment was recorded in 13/14 eyes. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE The combination of CCSC with choroidal folds, hypermetropia with apparent shortening of the eyeball associated with one or more scleral abnormalities such as a flattened or 'squared off 'appearance of the B ultrasound may be a specific ocular condition. The aetiology of this particular combination of posterior segment manifestations is unknown; the choroid could be the primary focus of disease with secondary involvement of the sclera. Alternatively, the features observed may result from a chronic inflammatory process affecting the sclera with secondary effects on the choroid, retinal pigment epithelium and retina. In our case series, the final vision was not significantly different from vision at presentation.

Decreased macular choriocapillaris in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy: focusing on chorioretinal folds with and without optic disc edema. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2023; 14:1123820. [PMID: 37152945 PMCID: PMC10160642 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1123820] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2022] [Accepted: 04/07/2023] [Indexed: 05/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the vessel density (VD) of the macular choriocapillaris (CC) and retina in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) patients with chorioretinal folds (CRFs) with and without optic disc edema (ODE) and the correlations of these characteristics with visual function. Method This was a cross-sectional study. Twenty TAO patients with CRFs (35 eyes) and 20 normal subjects (normal group, 40 eyes) were recruited at the Ophthalmology Department of the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital from March 2018 to October 2022. Then, CRF patients were divided into two groups, the ODE and non-ODE groups (NODE), based on the presence or absence of ODE. All the patients underwent optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and the VD of the macular CC and retina was computed. The correlation of VD and visual function was analyzed. Results Compared with the normal group, the macular whole-image VD in the retinal superficial layer (SLR-mwiVD: 49.82 ± 3.38 in the normal group, 42.44 ± 5.40 in the NODE group, and 42.51 ± 5.37 in the ODE group), deep layer (DLR-mwiVD: 51.05 ± 6.23 in the normal group, 45.71 ± 6.66 in the NODE group, and 46.31 ± 5.48 in the ODE group), and CC (CC-mwiVD: 70.23 ± 2.47 in the normal group, 68.04 ± 3.73 in the NODE group, and 63.09 ± 6.51 in the ODE group) was decreased in the NODE (all p < 0.05) and ODE group (all p < 0.01). There was no difference in these parameters except CC-mwiVD between the ODE and NODE groups. The CC-mwiVD in the ODE group (63.09 ± 6.51) was significantly reduced compared with that in the NODE group (68.04 ± 3.73, p = 0.004). All these VD parameters were negatively correlated with BCVA, VF-PSD, and P100 latency and positively associated with VF-MD, P100 amplitude, and HRR scores (all p < 0.05). Conclusions There was a significant decrease in the VD of the macular CC and retina of patients with CRFs with or without ODE, which was correlated with visual dysfunction. The VD of the macular CC in CRF patients with ODE was significantly reduced compared with that in the NODE group, but similar results were not observed in the retina.

Chorioretinal Folds in the Trabeculectomized Eye with Normal Intraocular Pressure after Phacoemulsification. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2021; 57:medicina57090896. [PMID: 34577819 PMCID: PMC8472401 DOI: 10.3390/medicina57090896] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2021] [Revised: 08/14/2021] [Accepted: 08/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/02/2022]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: This case report discusses possible causes of chorioretinal fold (CRF) formation. Materials and Methods: A case report. Results: A 48-year-old man presented with a history of high myopia and primary open-angle glaucoma in both eyes. He underwent a trabeculectomy followed by phacoemulsification in both eyes. Two months later, he complained of blurred vision in the right eye. The intraocular pressure (IOP) was 17 mmHg in the left eye and 9 mmHg in the right eye. Refraction showed a hyperopic shift in both eyes. Slit-lamp examination showed a deep anterior chamber without cells and a well-functional bleb without leakage. Fundus examination revealed CRFs in the macula of the right eye. No papilledema, choroidal lesions, or other retinal lesions were found. Wrinkling of CRFs at the macula, an increase in central foveal thickness, and a fluid cleft were demonstrated by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. After using steroid eye drops, the IOP in the right eye and refraction in both eyes recovered to the baseline level. Visual acuity improved in both eyes. Conclusions: CRFs in trabeculectomized eyes with normal IOP after phacoemulsification have not been reported. This case demonstrated that the trabeculectomized eye remains at risk of CRF formation, even if the IOP is normal without hypotony. The importance of a detailed fundus examination in patients with unexplained blurred vision may be necessary after having undergone these procedures. The early recognition of the cause of visual loss may facilitate immediate treatment and may avoid irreversible changes with permanent visual loss.

Abstract
Chorioretinal folds (CRFs) are undulations of the choroid and overlying Bruch’s membrane, retinal pigment epithelium and neurosensory retina. CRFs represent a clinical sign that is mandatory to investigate assuming their association with several ocular and extra-ocular disorders. Recent advances in retinal imaging have improved the characterization of CRFs. More importantly, retinal imaging may be useful to detect ocular complications secondary to chronic CRFs, including the development of choroidal neovascularization.
