Description
Summary:To report a case of bullous central serous chorioretinopathy presenting with large choroidal effusions. A patient presented with typical features of bullous central serous chorioretinopathy with large choroidal effusions. He had a previous history of bullous central serous chorioretinopathy in his other eye. The condition worsened after a short course of oral prednisolone, consistent with central serous chorioretinopathy. Surgical management with sclerectomies resulted in resolution of serous retinal detachment, choroidal effusions and subfoveal fluid. We report choroidal effusions as a potential manifestation of central serous chorioretinopathy which may aid in our understanding in the pathogenic mechanisms of this condition. Furthermore, we demonstrate that surgical sclerectomies as a potential treatment option for serous retinal detachment and choroidal effusions in this condition.
