Chronicity and Recurrence as Prognostic Factors in Central Serous Chorioretinopathy after Half-Dose Photodynamic Therapy

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.
