Central serous chorioretinopathy: Recent findings and new physiopathology hypothesis

Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is a major cause of vision threat among middle-aged male individuals. Multimodal imaging led to the description of a wide range of CSCR manifestations, and highlighted the contribution of the choroid and pigment epithelium in CSCR pathogenesis. However, the exact molecular mechanisms of CSCR have remained uncertain. The aim of this review is to recapitula...

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...
