PURPOSE To assess the potential of a new imaging technique, optical coherence tomography, for the diagnosis and monitoring of central serous chorioretinopathy. Optical coherence tomography is a novel noninvasive, noncontact imaging modality that produces high longitudinal resolution, cross-sectional tomographs of ocular tissue. METHODS Optical coherence tomography is analogous to ultrasound, ...

Pregnancy leads to significant changes in the body, which potentially affect the retina. Pregnancy can induce disease, such as that seen in hypertensive retinopathy and choroidopathy. It can cause exudative retinal detachments in the HELLP syndrome (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelets), disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), ...

Pregnancy is a long-term, temporary, physiological state that occurs in women's lives. the period which many anatomical and changes occur to meet needs of developing fetus. During this period, various are seen eye. Some changes, especially immunological system, may cause some inflammatory chorioretinopathy posterior segment. This can different levels vision loss. The main diseases during pregna...

Idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) typically affects middle-aged males. To date, only one case of idiopathic CSC in a prepubertal subject has been reported. Atypical idiopathic CSC presentation may be challenging to diagnose. Exclusion of secondary causes of serous retinal detachment (SRD) is warranted. We describe the atypical case of a 12-year-old female with a circumscribed SR...

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...

INTRODUCTION Long-term, high-dose corticosteroid therapy is well-known to cause systemic and ocular complications. A lesser known complication is chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). Although idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is known to be mild with spontaneous recovery and minimal effects on the final visual acuity, chronic CSCR as a complication of long- term ste...

BACKGROUND Atypical serous chorioretinopathy can present with symptoms similar to those of other pachychoroid diseases; however, a proper differential diagnosis will prevent unnecessary intensive treatments. To this end, we report on the shallowness of anterior chamber and transitory anterior vitreous cells in a patient with atypical severe serous retinal detachment. CASE PRESENTATION A 42-ye...
