  • Title: Central serous choroidopathy with exudative retinal detachment.
    Author: Kayazawa F.
    Journal: Ann Ophthalmol; 1982 Nov; 14(11):1035-42. PubMed ID: 7181335.
    Abstract:
    An exudative retinal detachment that may be a severe type of central serous choroidopathy (CSC) developed in ten patients. These patients were all middle-aged, all but one were men, and all had a tendency of bilateral involvement. The retinal detachment was associated with doughnut-shaped exudative flecks, and the shifting of subretinal fluid with head position was observed in some cases. Fluorescein angiography revealed wide-ranged retinal pigment epithelial disturbances and effusive dye leakages, especially descending leakage. Treatment with steroids and antibiotics was ineffective, and photocoagulation resolved these conditions rapidly, otherwise spontaneous improvement occurred. The final visual outcomes were variable, and in some cases permanent visual loss occurred.
