ABSTRACT
This study was carried out in the Department of Ophthalmology, Dow Medical College and Civil Hospital, Karachi, to ascertain the role of Fundus Fluorescein Angiography [FFA] in the diagnosis of Central Serous Chorioretinopathy [CSCR] and to see the various patterns of CSCR on FFA. In the outpatient department 33 patients were diagnosed as having CSCR on the basis of careful history taking and thorough clinical examination. They included 28 [84.85%] males and 5 [15.15%] females with a sex incidence of 6 Male.- 1Female. Majority of cases i.e. 28[84.85%] were between 20-40 years of age, whereas only 3[9.09%] were in the late teens and 2[6.06%] above the age of 40 years. Right eye was involved in 15 [45.45%] and left eye in 18 [54.55%] cases. The presenting clinical features were blurred vision, micropsia, metamorphopsia and positive central scotoma. At the time of presentation a visual acuity of 6/12 or better was seen in 25 [75.75%] cases, and 6/18 or less in 8 [24.25%] cases. FFA showed 21[63.64%]cases with ink-blot and 11[33.33%] with smoke-stack pattern, whereas one [3.03 %] case turned out as Sub-Retinal Neovascular Membrane [SRNVM]
