Central Serous Chorioretinopathy: Evolving Understanding, Investigations, and Treatment Options

Provider: Mivision

Contact: Nikki Byrne, [E] nikki@mivision.com.au, [P] 02 8336 8616

Activity Outline

Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is an idiopathic retinal disease in which fluid accumulates below the neurosensory retina, causing a serous detachment. CSCR has been typically viewed to be benign due to its self-limiting nature. However, as some cases can be chronic, management can be challenging.

Over recent years there have been major evolutions in how we view and manage this classic disease, through deeper pathophysiological understandings and the availability of new treatment options and imaging tools.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the typical signs and symptoms of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR)
  • Know the current pathophysiological mechanisms believed to underlie CSCR and the pachychoroid disease spectrum
  • Be aware of management options, investigational techniques, and treatment indicators for patients presenting with CSCR
  • Be aware of masquerade presentations and differential diagnoses associated with CSCR
