Risks and Management of Central Serous Chorioretinopathy in a Middle-Aged Female

Cureus. 2023 Dec 30;15(12):e51325. doi: 10.7759/cureus.51325. eCollection 2023 Dec.

Abstract

Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is the buildup of fluid in the posterior pole distorting the vision resulting from either neurosensory or retinal pigment epithelial detachment. This is a case report of a 33-year-old female complaining of cloudiness in the left eye who was subsequently diagnosed with CSC using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Remission was observed in four months, possibly from ocular drop treatment or spontaneous. Our case report is unique as the incidence of CSC is more common in males, almost six times higher than in females. Also, the etiology of CSC in this case report is questionable because all the risks are excluded from our patient history.

Keywords: central serous chorioretinopathy; oct (optical coherence tomography); photoreceptor cell dysfunction; retinal pigment epithelium (rpe); subretinal fluid.
