ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT

Purpose:

To evaluate subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) changes after intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) therapy for central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) using enhanced depth imaging spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT).

Methods:

In this retrospective study, we assessed the medical records of patients with CSC who received IVB (IVB group) or who were observed without intervention (control group). SFCT was measured using EDI-OCT. The main outcome measure was the change in SFCT.

Results:

Twenty-one eyes were included in the IVB group and 16 eyes were included in the control group. All patients showed resolution of neurosensory detachment and improvement in vision. In the IVB group, the mean SFCT was 315 μm at baseline, which decreased to 296 μm at the most recent visit. In the control group, the mean SFCT was 307 μm at baseline, which decreased to 266 μm at the most recent visit. Although there was a significant decrease in the mean SFCT for the control group, the decrease was not significant for the IVB group (41 vs 19 μm, p=0.003 vs p=0.071).

Conclusions:

SFCT decreased in both groups with remission of the disease. However, the decrease was significantly greater in the control group. In terms of anatomic and functional outcomes, IVB injection is not promising.
RESUMO
RESUMO

Objetivo:

Avaliar as alterações da espessura da coroide subfoveal (SFCT) após terapia com bevacizumab (IVB) para coriorretinopatia serosa central (CSC) usando tomografia de coerência óptica de domínio espectral com profundidade aprimorada (EDI-OCT).

Métodos:

Neste estudo retrospectivo, foram avaliados prontuários de pacientes com CSC que receberam IVB (grupo IVB) ou que foram apenas observados, sem intervenção (grupo controle). SFCT foi medido por meio de EDI-OCT. O desfecho principal avaliado foi a mudança na SFCT.

Resultados:

Houve 21 olhos no grupo IVB e 16 olhos no grupo de controle. Todos os pacientes apresentaram resolução de descolamento neurossensorial e melhora na visão. No grupo IVB, a SFCT media foi 315 μm no início e diminuiu para 296 μm na visita mais recente. No grupo controle, a SFCT média foi 307 μm no início e diminuiu para 266 μm na visita mais recente. Embora tenha havido uma diminuição significativa na SFCT média para o grupo controle, a diminuição não foi significativa para o grupo IVB (41 μm contra 19 μm, p=0.003 vs p=0.071).

Conclusões:

A SFCT diminuiu em ambos os grupos após a remissão da doença. Contudo, a diminuição foi significativamente maior no grupo de controle. Em termos de resultados anatômicos e funcionais, a injeção de IVB não foi promissora.
