PURPOSE: To investigate the structure and blood flow of the retina and choroid in Cushing syndrome and their relationship with cortisol levels.
METHODS: A consecutive series of patients with Cushing syndrome with adrenocortical carcinoma were included in this study. Cortisol levels gradually returned to normal after adrenalectomy. Optical coherence tomography and optical coherence tomography angiography were used to assess patients with Cushing syndrome before and after the surgery for retina and choroid. Correlation analysis was performed between cortisol level and fundus changes.
RESULTS: Compared with normal cortisol levels, patients with Cushing syndrome had significantly lower central macular thickness with increased cortisol level (220.82 ± 16.59 µ m and 223.68 ± 15.78 µ m, P = 0.019). However, the central choroidal thickness was higher with increased cortisol level (255.18 ± 105.89 µ m and 205.94 ± 87.04 µ m, P < 0.001). The choriocapillaris flow area was higher with increased cortisol level (2.05 ± 0.14 mm 2 and 2.00 ± 0.13 mm 2 , P = 0.02). The change of choriocapillaris flow area was correlated with the score of Huaxi Emotional-distress Index and 24-hour urine-free cortisol (24h-UFC).
CONCLUSION: The increased cortisol level was correlated with lesser central macular thickness and thicker central choroidal thickness. The decrease of choriocapillaris flow area was correlated with 24h-UFC, indicating the effect of increased cortisol level on choroidal vessels.
