Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography of choroidal detachment.
The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) findings in 9 patients with hemorrhagic choroidal detachment, serous choroidal detachment and/or ocular hypotony, choroidal effusion and 6 patients with exudative retinal detachment are described. Subacute hemorrhagic choroidal detachment appeared as moderately hyperintense image in T1 weighted MR scans and as hypointense in T2 weighted scans. Chronic hemorrhagic choroidal detachment was seen as hyperintense image in T1 and T2 weighted scans. Serous choroidal detachment and choroidal effusion appeared as moderately hyperintense image in T1 and T2 weighted scans. The exudative retinal detachment characteristically appeared on MR scans as a dependent hyperintense object in T1 and T2 weighted scans.
