OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate three-dimensional optical coherence tomographic findings at the leakage point on fluorescein angiography in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) with OCT-ophthalmoscope. METHODS Twenty-seven eyes of 26 patients (23 men, three women; mean age, 50 years; range, 30-72) diagnosed with CSC were examined with OCT-ophthalmoscope, and transverse and longitudinal images were compared with fundus and fluorescein angiography findings. RESULTS Transverse images (C-scan) clearly showed serous retinal detachment in all eyes and irregular lesions in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in 26 of 27 eyes (96%). These results agreed with the location of lesions in areas of fluorescein dye leakage on fluorescein angiography. Longitudinal images (B-scan) of irregular RPE lesions in transverse images showed RPE detachment (PED) in 17 eyes (63%), small protrusion of the RPE layer in five eyes (19%), and rough RPE layer in four eyes (15%). CONCLUSIONS OCT-ophthalmoscope detects morphologic changes easily and noninvasively at the point of dye leakage in eyes with CSC.

D002199 Capillary Permeability The property of blood capillary ENDOTHELIUM that allows for the selective exchange of substances between the blood and surrounding tissues and through membranous barriers such as the BLOOD-AIR BARRIER; BLOOD-AQUEOUS BARRIER; BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER; BLOOD-NERVE BARRIER; BLOOD-RETINAL BARRIER; and BLOOD-TESTIS BARRIER. Small lipid-soluble molecules such as carbon dioxide and oxygen move freely by diffusion. Water and water-soluble molecules cannot pass through the endothelial walls and are dependent on microscopic pores. These pores show narrow areas (TIGHT JUNCTIONS) which may limit large molecule movement.
