We describe a patient with concurrent retinitis pigmentosa and central serous chorioretinopathy. Both conditions involve dysfunction of the retinal pigment epithelium and evince distinct clinical, angiographic, and electrophysiologic features. Potential pathophysiologic connections are explored.

BACKGROUND To report two cases of atypical vitelliform macular dystrophy misdiagnosed as chronic central serous chorioretinopathy. CASE PRESENTATION Two patients with incidentally discovered abnormalities of the retina without specific symptoms were referred to our hospital for consultation. Bilateral macula atrophic lesions were observed and optical coherence tomography revealed serous retin...

Normal retinal tissue consists of the nine-layer sensory retina on the vitreous side and onelayer retinal pigment epithelium on the choroidal side. Serous retinal detachment is a detachment of the sensory retina from the retinal pigment epithelium. Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a condition causing local serous neurosensory detachment in the macular region. CSC causes circular or ova...

A review of 345 consecutive cases of patients under the age of 40 years with central serous chorioretinopathy seen between 1969 and 1979 was performed in order to define temporal patterns of occurrence. The monthly distribution of cases significantly differed (p less than 0.01) from an expected random distribution. Although a statistical trend analysis failed to confirm a definite seasonal vari...

Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is one of several retinal disorders that may cause visual loss. It characterized by detachment the neurosensory retina, often associated with focal detachments an altered pigment epithelium, mostly confined to macular area. As CSCR considered be correlated increased level testosterone, it was interest if also linked occurrence polycystic ovary syndrome (P...
