Filter by:Etiology of ICSCR is not known however recent studies regard the role of immunologic and infectious processes in the pathogenesis of ICSCR.one of these hypothesis is the role of helicobacter pylori in the pathogenesis of ICSCR so perhaps treatment of h pylori have positive effect on the remission of ICSCR.
This study is a comparison of multifocal electroretinogram assessment between the laser treatment group and the photodynamic therapy group in chronic central serous chorioretinopathy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of an initial subthreshold retinal micropulselasercoagulation versus a single intravitreal 1.5mg bevacizumab injection in central serous choriretinopathy, as the micropulse will selectively treat the damaged RPE to induce reproliferation of healthy RPE cells, whereas the intravitreal injection should non-selectively stop the RPE leakage.
Investigation to evaluate Anecortave Acetate in the treatment of chronic central serous chorioretinopathy
Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) has been known since it was first described by Von Graefe and termed "idiopathic detachment of the macula" in 1866, is a well-characterized disorder leading to serous neurosensory elevation of the central macula. The acute form of the disease is associated with focal leakage at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) demonstrated with fluorescein angiography (FA). The disorder is self-limited in the majority of patients, who also regain excellent vision. Occasionally, the neurosensory detachment persists and leads to pigment epithelial and photoreceptor damage with visual impairment. The purpose of this clinical study is report the use of intravitreal bevacizumab is a new option in the treatment of the chronic or recurrent CSC.
In this prospective clinical study SRT is performed with various pulse durations at 1.7µs and additionally 200ns to evaluate the different clinical effects of both laser regimens. The macular diseases to be treated are drusen maculopathy and geographic atrophy due to age-related macular degeneration as well as diabetic macular edema and central serous chorioretinopathy. The beneficial effect in laser treatment is thought to be associated with the restoration of a new barrier of retinal pigment epithelium cells. If this theory is true, the destruction of the photoreceptors causing visual field defects would be only an unwanted and unnecessary side effect. Thus, SRT is able to avoid these unintentional side effects and to achieve the benefit by just treating the RPE. In this study the clinical effect of SRT for these diseases is evaluated on a long-term basis.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of Lucentis for active Central Serous Chorioretinopathy.
Central serous choroidal (CSC) retinopathy is a disease of the macula characterized by exudation of fluid under the retina localized to the posterior pole as well as loss of vision. The etiology is unknown, but according to the studies this condition is more common in young males and is associated with type A personality. Clinically, CSC is characterized by serous retinal detachment and area of leakage of in the subretinal space. The standard of care for acute CSC is observation for a period of up to 3 months. If there is no complete resolution of the retinal detachment by 3 months, there is an indication for focal laser photocoagulation therapy of the area of leakage. This treatment is usually effective in stopping leakage of fluid under the retina and causing resolution of detachment. However, laser photocoagulation therapy is not beneficial in the treatment of chronic CSC because there is not a single easily identifiable point of leakage but rather diffuse disease of RPE thus rendering laser treatment ineffective.The purpose of this medical research study is to evaluate Verteporfin therapy as an approach which may benefit patients with CSC, based on observations in exudative type of AMD patients treated with Photodynamic Therapy using Verteporfin.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of an adrenocorticoid antagonist (ketoconazole), 600 mg per day for 4 weeks, in the treatment of patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).
