慢性中心性浆液性脉络膜视网膜病变(cCSC)以广泛的脉络膜视网膜异常为特征，包括脉络膜血管扩张及其引发的弥漫性视网膜色素上皮病变和浆液性视网膜脱离，常累及黄斑区，引起视功能损害。传统观点认为其可能由急性CSC演变而来，但近期研究显示两者在临床上存在明显差异。其病情反复、迁延，预后较差。随着光学相干断层扫描血管造影(OCTA)、超广角成像和en face重建成像等新多模式影像(MMI)技术的出现和人工智能及机器学习的发展，更多有意义的cCSC影像学特征不断出现。文章详细介绍了cCSC在眼底成像、眼底自发荧光(FAF)、光学相干断层扫描(OCT)、眼底荧光素血管造影(FFA)、吲哚菁绿血管造影和OCTA等影像技术中的表现，并探讨了人工智能在识别CSC分类及其OCT 生物标志物等方面的应用。不同影像技术在cCSC的诊断和研究中各有优势，如FAF可能是评估疾病进展及变化的有效手段，OCT可更直观地观察视网膜结构的改变，FFA是识别渗漏点的重要检查手段，而OCTA可能是评估脉络膜微循环的的最佳手段等。这些MMI研究进展为深入了解cCSC的病理生理机制及临床特征提供了重要线索，有助于提高诊断的准确性和效率，改善患者的预后和生活质量。

Chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (cCSC) is characterized by extensive retinochoroidal abnormalities. This includes difuse retinal pigment epitheliopathy and serous retinal detachment associated with choroidal vasodilatation, ofen involving the macula and cause visual impairment. It was originally considered that it might evolve from acute CSC, but recent studies have shown significant clinical differences between the two. It tends to recur, be prolonged, and have an unfavorable prognosis. With the advent of new multimodal imaging (MMI) techniques such as optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), ultra-wide-feld imaging, and en face reconstruction imaging, along with the advancement of artificial intelligence and machine learning, more significant cCSC imaging characteristics have been constantly emerging. Tis article provides a comprehensive overview of cCSC’s imaging features across various modalities, including fundus photography, fundus autofluorescence (FAF), optical coherence tomography (OCT), fuorescein angiography (FFA), indocyanine green angiography, and OCTA. It also explores the application of artifcial intelligence in identifying CSC classifications and OCT biomarkers. Different imaging techniques have their own advantages in the diagnosis and study of cCSC, such as FAF being an efective means to assess disease progression and changes, OCT providing a more intuitive observation of retinal structural changes, FFA being an important tool for identifying leakage points, and OCTA possibly being the best means to assess choroidal microcirculation. Tese MMI research advancements ofer crucial insights for clinicians, aiding in more accurate diagnosis and efective treatment, thereby potentially improving patient outcomes and quality of life.

目的：观察急性中心性浆液性脉络膜视网膜病变(central serous chorioretinopathy，CSC)的自然病程中渗漏点的形态及变化。方法：本研究为前瞻性研究，使用光学相干断层扫描(optical coherence tomography，OCT)观察从发病到发病后5~13个月的CSC患者的渗漏点的OCT形态，测量并计算Hall层、脉络膜全层各自厚度及比值，并进行比较。结果：共20例患者[男14例，女6例，年龄33~59(中位数41)岁]纳入研究。随访时间为5~13个月。在19例患者中观察到微小视网膜色素上皮脱离(pigment epithelium detachment，PED)。1例患者可见视网膜色素上皮(retinal pigment epithelium， RPE)小凸起。在随访期间，仅1例患者的PED完全恢复，其他19例患者在视网膜下液被完全吸收时，RPE和Bruch膜之间仍存在微小分离。渗漏点处的Haller层/脉络膜厚度显著高于中央凹处(初诊时0.806±0.08 vs 0.863±0.06，P=0.003；最后1次随访时为0.801±0.07 vs 0.851±0.06，P=0.004)。结论：本研究观察到在急性CSC患者自然病程中，即使视网膜下液吸收，OCT显示渗漏点处仍存在持续的PED，更厚的Haller层及更薄的内层脉络膜，这些发现为CSC的发病机制提供了更多线索。

Objective: To observe the morphology and changes of leakage points in the natural course of acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). Methods: This study was a prospective study, using optical coherence tomography to observe the OCT morphology of leakage points in CSC patients from onset to 5 to 13 months after onset, measuring the thickness and ratio of Hall layer and the whole choroid, and then compare them. Results: A total of 20 patients were included in the study, including 14 males and 6 females, aged from 33 to 59, with the median being 41 years old. The follow-up time ranged from 5 months to 13 months. Minute retinal pigment epithelial detachments (PED) were observed in 19 patients. A small bulge of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) was observed in 1 patient. During the follow-up, only one patient totally recovered. Small separation between RPE and Bruch membrane still exit even subretinal fluid were absorbed completely in the other 19 patients. The thickness of Haller layer or choroid at the leakage point was significantly higher than that of the fovea (0.806±0.08 vs 0.863±0.06, P=0.003, at the first visit; 0.801±0.07 vs 0.851±0.06, P=0.004, at the last follow-up). Conclusion: This study observed that in the natural course of acute CSC patients, even if the subretinal fluid was absorbed, OCT still showed that there was persistent PED at the leakage point, thicker Haller layer and thinner inner choroid layer. These findings provided more clues to the pathogenesis of CSC.
