- Abstract: Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is an eye disease that causes serous retinal detachment in the posterior pole of the retina. The pathogenesis of CSC is not fully understood and various systemic factors have been reported to be associated with CSC. Recently, with the advent of advanced imaging techniques, novel imaging findings for CSC have been reported and the understanding of CSC has increased further. Moreover, in addition to conventional treatment for CSC, new treatment modalities such as photodynamic therapy, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor or subthreshold laser therapy, have emerged. In this article, an overall review and update of CSC, particularly focusing on new imaging findings and treatments, will be discussed.
