[Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC)].

In the acute stage central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is characterized by serous retinal detachment. Monofocal or multifocal structural changes of the pigment epithelium layer are common. Unilateral blurred vision is the major clinical symptom. The pathogenesis is unclear but corticosteroids and stress may trigger the disease. Normal vision often returns spontaneously within a few months. Therapeutic options are at a low evidence level. Carbonic anhydrase, mild laser photocoagulation, selective retinal therapy, photodynamic therapy and the intravitreal injection of bevacizumab have been reported. The authors suggest a treatment strategy on the basis of the available data.
