All subjects underwent wide-field SS-OCTA examination to quantify choroidal thickness and vascular density of the choriocapillaris. To assess the wide-field changes, we developed five 4-by-4\u00a0mm square regions located in the posterior pole and in the four quadrants of the peripheral retina (superotemporal, inferotemporal, superonasal, and inferonasal subfields, respectively).\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    The choroidal thickness of eyes with CSC was greater than that of the fellow eyes in the central and inferonasal subfields (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &amp;lt; 0.001 for the central subfield and\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.006 for the inferonasal subfield, respectively). Compared with the choroidal thickness of healthy eyes, that of patients with CSC were significantly greater in all the subfields (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &amp;lt; 0.05 for the fellow eyes and\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &amp;lt; 0.05 for eyes with CSC, respectively). Compared with that of healthy eyes, the vascular density of choriocapillaris in eyes of patients with CSC were significantly greater in the central and superotemporal subfields (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &amp;lt; 0.05 for the fellow eyes and\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &amp;lt; 0.05 for eyes with CSC, respectively). In the central region, the vascular density of choriocapillaris of the fellow eyes was greater than eyes with CSC (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.023).\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold>\n                    CSC appears to be a bilateral disease with asymmetric manifestations. Local factors of the diseased eyes may play an important role in the development of CSC, during which dynamic and regional changes in the choriocapillaris may have happened.
