Abstract:
Central serous chorioretinopathy(CSC) is a retinal disorder that typically affects young and middle-aged adults. It is characterized by the accumulation of subretinal fluid at the posterior pole of the fundus, causing a circumscribed area of retinal detachment. It is essentially benign and self-limited, generally requiring no treatment. However, a few patients have permanent visual loss because of subretinal fibrosis following a nonrhegmatogenous, bullous retinal detachment with shifting subretinal fluid. The authors experienced a case of CSC with bilateral bullous retinal detachment in a 36 year old male patient. A subretinal fibrotic band developed in both maculae and permanent visual loss of both eyes occurred. We report this unusual case with literature review.
