Introduction
Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a common disease of posterior
segment of the eye which predominantly affects young men[1] with
type A personality, hypertension, steroid usage or obstructive sleep
apnea[2]. According to the latest reports, this is the fourth most
common retinal disease and also a frequent cause of mild to moderate
visual impairment[3]. Metamorphopsia and central scotoma are the
main presenting symptoms in acute CSC. Acute CSC is often self-limiting
and treatment may be unnecessary. However; chronic CSC causes
occupational limitation and bothering visual symptoms which urge
physicians to take treatment measures[4]. In addition, high rates of
recurrence mandate us to be aware of its pathophysiology and related
risk factors. Choroidal vascular compromise and multifocal choroidal
hyperpermeability have been suggested for the pathophysiology of this
entity[5]. In this case report which was happened to one of the
authors of this article (Dr. Ali Bozorgi), we decided to share our views
about CSC and its probable preventable cause.
