Purpose.
To identify the clinical characteristics and risk factors for secondary choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).
Methods.
In this retrospective study, we included a total of 108 eyes in 106 CSC patients.
Group A was defined as patients initially diagnosed with CSC who developed secondary CNV, and group B was defined as patients who did not develop secondary CNV.
Clinical and demographic characteristics, optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings at CSC diagnosis and OCT angiography (OCTA) at the time of secondary CNV diagnosis, were compared between the groups.
Results.
Thirty-one eyes had CNV (group A) and 77 eyes did not (group B).
The mean age of group A was higher than that of group B (52.28 ± 6.87 vs.
46.78 ± 9.45 years; P<0.001).
Although there was no difference in pigment epithelial detachment (PED) height, group A had larger PED width than group B at CSC diagnosis.
The foveal and parafoveal choriocapillary flow densities were significantly lower in group A than group B (P=0.027 and P<0.001, respectively).
Conclusion.
We identified that older age, wider PED width at diagnosis, and recurrent episodes of CSC were independent risk factors for development of secondary CNV.
Therefore, patients with these risk factors should be monitored to allow early detection and prompt treatment of secondary CNV.
