Corticosteroid-Induced Central Serous Chorioretinopathy

Corticosteroid-induced central serous chorioretinopathy.

Five patients were identified by medical records and fluorescein angiography as having developed central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) during corticosteroid treatment. These five and 28 previously reported corticosteroid-induced CSC occurrences were studied to clarify the differences between idiopathic CSC and corticosteroid-induced CSC. Nine previously reported occurrences of corticosteroid-i...

Central serous chorioretinopathy complicating systemic corticosteroid treatment.

Central serous chorioretinopathy developed in 2 cases of retrobulbar neuritis during systemic treatment with corticosteroids. Fluorescein angiography confirmed leakage surrounded by central serous detachment of the retina. In one case the central serous chorioretinopathy recurred 3 times during 3 separate courses of treatment. Spontaneous recovery accompanied a reduction in steroid treatment to...

Forgotten exogenous corticosteroid as a cause of central serous chorioretinopathy

Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is an idiopathic ocular condition - first described in 1866 - that is well known to ophthalmologists. It is less well known to other practitioners. Glucocorticoids have been strongly implicated as a pathogenic factor. We report three patients who developed CSCR following exogenous administration of corticosteroid. Because our patients did not suspect the ...

Atypical Central Serous Chorioretinopathy

Bullous central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is a rare variant of CSCR characterized by severe serous retinal detachment which especially involves the inferior quadrants. Corticosteroid therapy administered for systemic or ocular misdiagnoses may induce and exacerbate CSCR. The purpose of this study was to report diagnosis and treatment results of an unusual case of bullous CSCR induced by s...
