  • Title: Idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy.
    Author: Hussain D, Gass JD.
    Journal: Indian J Ophthalmol; 1998 Sep; 46(3):131-7. PubMed ID: 10085624.
    Abstract:
    Idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy (ICSC) is usually seen in young males with Type A personality. Clinical evaluation of the macula with fundoscopy and biomicroscopy, coupled with fluorescein angiography establishes the diagnosis. Indocyanine green angiographic studies have reinformed that the basic pathology lies in choriocapillaries and retinal pigment epithelium. Most of the ICSC resolve completely in four months, and some of them could resolve early with direct photocoagulation of the leaking site. Oral steroids have no role, and could even cause an adverse reaction.
