Abstract
Purpose. To study anatomical and functional parameters using optical coherence tomography in patients with avascular retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) detachment with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). Material and methods. 40 people with AMD and CSR were examined. Patients were divided depending on the type of RPE detachment: druzenoid – 10 patients, serous RPE detachment in AMD – 20 patients, serous RPE detachment in CSCR – 10 patients. Results. A comparative analysis revealed that serous avascular RPE detachment in AMD is characterized by the greatest height and width in relation to drusenoid RPE detachment and RPE detachment in CSCR. Avascular RPE detachment in CSCR are characterized by the smallest dimensions – both in height and width in relation to other avascular RPE detachments, and the greatest thickness of the choroid in relation to serous RPE detachment in AMD (p = 0.018). Conclusions. The identified features of avascular RPE detachment in AMD and CSCR allow us to choose an adequate tactics for managing patients. Key words: retinal pigment epithelium detachment, age-related macular degeneration, central serous chorioretinopathy
