Design: Retrospective, comparative study. Participants: One hundred fifty-eight eyes of 158 patients with CSC. Methods: All patients with CSC underwent ophthalmic examination and multimodal imaging, including measurements of axial length (AL), fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, swept-source OCT, and anterior segment OCT. Using en face OCT images at the level of the outer choroid, the eyes were divided into 2 groups: eyes with symmetric vortex veins (symmetry group) and those with asymmetric vortex veins (asymmetry group). Main Outcome Measures: Clinical and morphologic factors related to asymmetric vortex veins in CSC. Results: Of the 158 eyes, 120 eyes (75.9%) were classified into the asymmetry group and 38 eyes (24.1%) were classified into the symmetry group. The asymmetry group showed significantly greater spherical equivalent (–0.32 ± 1.78 diopters [D] vs. –1.35 ± 2.64 D; P = 0.033), shorter AL (23.52 ± 0.86 mm vs. 24.10 ± 1.06 mm; P = 0.005), and greater subfoveal choroidal thickness (414.6 ± 105.3 μm vs. 360.4 ± 91.8 μm; P = 0.005) than the symmetry group. No significant differences existed between the 2 groups regarding age, sex, or all scleral thicknesses at the superior, temporal, inferior, and nasal points. In the multivariate analyses, shorter AL (odds ratio, 0.56; 95% confidence interval, 0.36–0.88; P = 0.011) was found to be significantly associated with the presence of asymmetric vortex veins. Conclusions: The asymmetric dilated vortex vein is a common finding in patients with CSC.
