Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSC)

Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is serous detachment of the neurosensory retina at the macula, classically in stressed, type-A males, with idiopathic leakage from the RPE. Clinical: central blurred vision, metamorphopsia, and a round serous macular detachment on OCT/FA. Most cases resolve spontaneously in 3-4 months. Treatment: observation; reduce stress/steroids; photodynamic therapy or anti-VEGF for chronic/persistent cases.

Common Symptoms

Central blurred vision/metamorphopsia; round serous macular detachment on OCT; stressed middle-aged male

Causes and Pathogenesis

Idiopathic RPE leak causes serous neurosensory macular detachment, often stress/steroid-associated.

Treatment

Observation; reduce stress/steroids; PDT/anti-VEGF for chronic/persistent

Preventive Measures

Reduce stress; avoid excessive steroids.
