Current Therapeutic Approaches to Chronic Central Serous Chorioretinopathy

Current concepts in managing central serous chorioretinopathy.

Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) affects roughly 10 men and two women per 100,000 people, and they are often younger, working-aged individuals with high visual demands. Randomized clinical trials in CSC are scarce and typically evaluate dozens of patients1-12 (Table, page 11) rather than the hundreds or even thousands of patients evaluated in trials for age-related macular degeneration (A...

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...

Central serous chorioretinopathy.

BACKGROUND Central serous chorioretinopathy is a condition typically affecting young adults between 25 and 50 years of age. It is predominating in type A personality trait men. Central serous chorioretinopathy is defined clinically as a detachment of the sensory retina that is commonly unilateral but can also be bilateral. Laser photocoagulation has been used widely with central serous choriore...

Central serous chorioretinopathy.

The pathogenesis of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is still not fully understood. The involvement of corticosteroids is undisputed, although their exact role has not been clarified; other parts of the underlying mechanism of CSC have been mainly elucidated by imaging techniques such as fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography. Even though most cases of CSC are self-limiting, severe...
