Abstract

Abstract Background Central serous choroidopathy is a macular disease, usually with a self-limited and benign course, and predominantly affects male patients between 20 and 45 years old. Clinical case A 68 year-old female patient complained of decreased visual acuity of her right eye of approximately 3 weeks of onset. Best corrected visual acuity in her right eye was 20/100. Fundus examination revealed a macular serous detachment involving its centre, as well as the presence of multiple calcified drusen. Fluorescein angiography showed late parafoveal leakage in a “smokestack” pattern in the right macular area. Optical coherence tomography showed a dome-shape macular detachment, also in the right eye. The patient was observed every 2 weeks and spontaneous resolution of the macular detachment was seen a month later. Based on these clinical features, a diagnosis was made of central serous choroidopathy of atypical presentation. Conclusions Atypical presentation cases of serous central choroidopathy might be seen occasionally. Hence, it is an important differential diagnosis of age related macular degeneration in patients older than 60 years.
