OBJECTIVE To study the optical coherence tomography (OCT) pattern of the fluorescein angiographic leakage in acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). METHODS This is a non-interventional pilot case study. OCT line scan was performed over the fluorescein angiographic leak site in eyes clinically diagnosed acute CSCR. Clinical fundus photograph, site of leakage on fundus fluorescein angiography and corresponding OCT were analysed. RESULTS The mean age of 10 consecutive patients was 38.8 +/- 6.9 years. Six patients were male and the mean duration of symptom was 7 days. Six eyes (60%) showed a characteristic dipping pattern of neurosensory retina with intervening hyper-reflective echoes suggestive of fibrin over the leakage site. All these eyes had ink-blot leak and subretinal fibrin. CONCLUSIONS Ink-blot leak in acute CSCR with subretinal fibrin generates a dipping morphological pattern on OCT.

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.

D005122 Exudates and Transudates Exudates are fluids, CELLS, or other cellular substances that are slowly discharged from BLOOD VESSELS usually from inflamed tissues. Transudates are fluids that pass through a membrane or squeeze through tissue or into the EXTRACELLULAR SPACE of TISSUES. Transudates are thin and watery and contain few cells or PROTEINS.
