Abstract
|
|
|
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. (Korean J Med 75:221-224, 2008)
