Clinical characteristics and risk factors of bacillary layer detachment in central serous chorioretinopathy: a comparative multicenter study
BALAD in CSC differs from a typical CSC due to the presence of a circular, yellowish macular lesion, detachment of the ellipsoid zone, segmentation of the inner segment of the photoreceptor, a thicker choroid, the use of corticosteroids, and generally more aggressive previous treatments. These results suggest that BALAD may serve as a valuable biomarker for the severity of CSC and highlight the influence of inflammation and previous treatments.
