AIMS To report the beneficial effect of intravitreal bevacizumab (Avastin) injection in patients with acute central serous chorioretinopathy. METHODS Ten eyes of 10 patients with acute central serous chorioretinopathy received an intravitreal bevacizumab (1.25 mg/0.05 ml) injection. At baseline and follow-up visits patients had best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), IOP assessment, dilated fund...

PURPOSE To investigate the relative involvement of chromatic and achromatic visual subsystems in central serous chorioretinopathy, and to correlate the function changes with the changes of the foveal photoreceptor layer using Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT). METHODS Central serous chorioretinopathy patients and control subjects were tested and compared. Equiluminant Chrom...

We report a case of central serous chorioretinopathy after rhinoplasty for deviation of the nasal septum in a 23-year-old Caucasian man. The patient complained of deterioration of vision in the right eye 4 days after rhinoplasty. At presentation, visual acuity of the right eye was 6/9 with metamorphopsia. Fluorescein angiography revealed a focal retinal pigment epithelium leakage and optical co...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of fluorescein angiography-guided photodynamic therapy with half-dose verteporfin in the treatment of chronic central serous chorioretinopathy with focal leakage areas. METHODS Eight cases with a history of central serous chorioretinopathy of ≥6 months were included. All eyes had one or more focal areas of active retinal pigment ep...

AIM To describe retinal findings in patients with idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy (ICSC) as assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT), and to compare them to fluorescein angiography (FA) findings. METHODS Case series of 39 eyes from 36 patients with ICSC. Complete ophthalmological examination, last generation OCT (StratusOCT, Software version 3.1) and FA were performed. Six r...

BACKGROUND Exogenous and endogenous steroids have been implicated in the pathogenesis of central serous choroioretinopathy in the literature. Central serous choroioretinopathy presents as sudden reduction in visual acuity. CASE PRESENTATION Despite the fact that steroid injections are so commonly used in the Orthopaedics there is no information regarding central serous chorioretinopathy in Or...

The presence of subretinal exudation in a patient with neurosensory detachment of the macula frequently suggests the diagnosis of choroidal neovascularisation. A retrospective chart review of newly diagnosed cases of central serous chorioretinopathy revealed 11 patients, seven men and four non-pregnant women, who had plaques of subretinal exudate, which presumably were fibrin. Each of these pat...
