Abstract:
Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is potential ophthalmologic sequelae of steroid use characterized by an idiopathic serous detachment of neurosensory retina within the macula. Its etiology and pathophysiology are still unknown, but what has been implicated to cause CSCR is the the use of corticosteroid via multiple administration routes including oral, intravenous, inhaled, intranasal, epidural and intraarticular as well as topical forms. We report, with a review of the literature, an additional case of CSCR, which developed during systemic corticosteroid treatment in a Bell's palsy patient.
