Bilateral exudative retinal detachment associated with central serous chorioretinopathy in a patient treated with corticosteroids

Abstract

Abstract Case report The case is presented on a 54-year-old woman with a central serous chorioretinopathy, misdiagnosed as Vogt–Koyanagi–Harada disease, and treated with systemic corticosteroids. The patient presented with a bilateral bullous exudative retinal detachment. Discussion Discontinuation of corticosteroid therapy, surgical drainage of subretinal fluid, and photodynamic therapy, led to anatomical and functional improvement. The recognition of an atypical presentation of central serous chorioretinopathy may avoid complications of the inappropriate treatment with corticosteroids.
