Central serous chorioretinopathy
(CSC) is a chorioretinal disorder characterized by serous detachment of the
neurosensory retina. The patho physiology remains poorly understood, butchoroidal vascular hyper permeability, and subsequent retinal pigment epithelium(RPE) dysfunction, due to a mechanical hydrostatic stress, seem to be primarily
involved in its pathophysiology.
CSC can present itself in an acute or chronic
stage. Although acute CSC resolves spontaneously in most cases, leaving no or minor visual complaints, the persistence of sub- macular fluid or history of
recurrence are common. Chronic forms of CSC can evolve with severe and
permanent visual loss, which is often associated with recurrent or persistent
forms of disease.
