Abstract
We present a 23-year-old female patient who developed bilateral, multifocal CSCR three months after BMT and two months after developing GvHD. At the time of diagnosis, her medications included cyclosporine and high-dose oral steroid for GvHD. CSCR resolved quickly after the resolution of GvHD, along with rapid tapering of steroids and restoration of emotional wellbeing. Rapid tapering of systemic steroids under close monitoring of a hematologist in the setting of resolved mild GvHD may facilitate prompt resolution of CSCR.Entities:
