Abstract:
Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC)is a common eye disease characterized by macular serous retinal detachment.However,sometimes there are some atypical features,such as diffuse retinal pigment epitheliopathy,choroidal neovascularization (CNV),acute bullous retinal detachment,subretinal fibrosis,etc.Atypical CSC often is misdiagnosed because of its similar manifestations to polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV),inflammatory diseases such as Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome (VKH),et al.Furthermore,there are some other ophthalmic and systematic diseases which can cause serous retinal detachment and other atypical features.Nevertheless,the therapeutic regimens of these diseases are in great variation.In view of this,oculist should pay more attention to the differential diagnosis of CSC by fully understanding its clinical findings and concerning the general history including gluococorticoid administration.In this way,a precise diagnosis and correct management can be done.
