In this study, we evaluated the effect of the argon indirect laser photocoagulation for patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC), whose leaking points were indentified near the fovea or inside the papillomacular bundle. Among the 99 eyes of CSC, 62 eyes were assigned to group one, in which leaking points were located outside the papillomacular bundle or at more than 500 microdistance from fovea, and 37 eyes were assigned to group two, in which leaking points were located inside of papillomacular bundle or within 500 microdistance from fovea. Among the eyes in group one, 22 eyes had undergone direct laser photocoagulation treatment; among the eyes in group two, 27 eyes undergone indirect laser photocoagulation treatment; the rest 50 eyes were untreated. With theses results, We concluded that indirect laser treatment may not be in shortening the duration of central serous chorioretinopathy or in improving the vision. Its reccurence rate was higher than the rest of the modalities.

Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is an idiopathic disorder characterized by serous detachment of the macula and retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) detachment. Its etiology and pathophysiology are still unknown. However, CSCR can arise secondary to chronic treatment with steroids. We present two cases in which CSCR developed in patients on oral steroid therapy and resolved after treatment was stopped. We also offer a review of the literature.

Idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy is localized detachment of the neurosensory retina in the macula which is commonly seen. However extensive sensory retinal detachment of the posterior role and multiple leaking points are rare characteristics of idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy. Idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy with bullous retinal detachment is frequently misdiagnosed and treated improperly. The authors experienced a case of atypical type of idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy that has bullous retinal detachment and multiple Ieaking points in the both eyes.

Stress has been regrarded as one of the causes of central serous chorioretinopathy. We studied the effect of Hexamethonium (ganglionic blocking agent) on experimentaI serous chorioretinopathy following epinephrine injection in rabbits. In group 1, we injected the 0.1 % epinephrine into the rabbits through IV route for 10 days and in group 2, we addited Hexamethonium subcutaneously prior to injection of the epinephrine same term of gorup 1. We could find slight histological changes in gorup 2 as com paired with group 1, which produced serous chorioretinopathy, under the electronmicroscopic study so we would expect the preventive effect of Hexamethonium on the stress-induced serous chorioretinopathy.

The authors experienced a case of atypical type of idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy that has bullous retinal pigment epithelium detachment and multiple leaking points. So, we report this case with the review of the literatures.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the correlation between foveal thickness, as measured with optical coherence tomographic evaluation, and the visual acuity in patients who suffered from unilateral resolved central serous chorioretinopathy. METHODS: Twenty-eight consecutive patients who were diagnosed with unilateral resolved central serous chorioretinopathy were studied. High-resolution optical coherence tomography was performed on all of the patients. The foveal thickness of the involved eye was normalized by dividing its thickness with that of the uninvolved eye. The best-corrected visual acuity of the involved eye was normalized as well. The subjects were divided into two groups according to the minimum value of the normalized foveal thickness in the 22 healthy subjects. RESULTS: The mean foveal thickness was 128.68+/-22.06 micrometer in the involved eyes and 148.18+/-13.88 micrometer in the uninvolved eyes. There was a statistically significant correlation between the normalized foveal thickness and the normalized visual acuity. There were statistically significant differences in the normalized visual acuity and the duration of the symptoms between the group with foveal thickness above the minimum value and the group with foveal thickness below the minimum value. CONCLUSIONS: There was a statistically significant correlation between foveal thickness and visual acuity. The patient group with a foveal thickness value above the minimum value of the normalized foveal thickness showed a statistically significant improvement in visual acuity and a shorter duration of symptoms. It seems that the foveal thickness is associated with visual acuity and the duration of symptoms.
