  • Title: [Diode-laser photocoagulation in central serous chorioretinopathy].

    Journal: Oftalmologia; 2008; 52(3):47-51. PubMed ID: 19149117.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: This case report reveals the effect of the diode laser photocoagulation in Central Serous Chorioretinopathy. CASE REPORT: A 49 years old male has been referred to us for a decrease in the central vision (2/10) for 4 months. The clinical examination of the retina and the angiophluorography have diagnosed a classical form of Central Serous Chorioretinopathy, with a unique leaking point, situated away from the fovea. The focal diode laser photocoagulation of the leaking point has been performed and 6 weeks after treatment, the visual acuity has normalized (10/10) and the angiophluorography has proven no sign of activity. DISCUSSION: The etiopathogenetic, clinical and evolutive aspects of this case are discussed in comparison to the data in the literature. CONCLUSION: The focal diode laser photocoagulation of the leaking point has led to immediate anatomical and functional success in Central Serous Chorioretinopathy.
