Central Serous Chorioretinopathy: A Review of the Literature.

Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is an incompletely understood multifactorial disease of those who are middle aged characterized by the collection of fluid between the retinal pigment epithelium and the neurosensory retina. The exact etiology of CSCR and the reason of its predominance in middle-aged males are still unknown. Many pharmacologic modalities are suggested for CSCR with no proven efficacy. So this article was written to give a review of the relevant and recent literature on CSCR and to summarize the etiology, clinical features, and diagnostic modalities for CSCR with special emphasis on the treatment options available and those that are still under trial and can be of help in the future to fasten the recovery and reduce the recurrences.
