Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC or CSCR), also known as central serous retinopathy (CSR), is an eye disease that causes visual impairment, often temporary, usually in one eye. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] When the disorder is active it is characterized by leakage of fluid under the retina that has a propensity to accumulate under the central macula.
Central serous chorioretinopathy (pachychoroid stage II) with subretinal fluid (black triangle in the middle) and a markedly thickened, congested choroid (white arrowheads). Pachychoroid disorders of the macula represent a group of diseases affecting the central part of the retina of the eye , the macula .
Flammer syndrome may also predispose to other eye diseases such as vascular occlusion (especially retinal vein occlusion) [15] in relatively young people or central serous retinopathy. Muscle spasms and tension are common among individuals with Flammer syndrome.
(H35.0) Hypertensive retinopathy — burst blood vessels, due to long-term high blood pressure (H35.0/E10-E14) Diabetic retinopathy — damage to the retina caused by complications of diabetes mellitus, which could eventually lead to blindness (H35.0-H35.2) Retinopathy — general term referring to non-inflammatory damage to the retina
Cherry red spot in a person with central retinal artery occlusion. Central retinal artery occlusion is characterized by painless, acute vision loss in one eye. [1] Upon fundoscopic exam, one would expect to find: cherry-red spot (90%) (a morphologic description in which the normally red background of the choroid is sharply outlined by the swollen opaque retina in the central retina), retinal ...
Central serous retinopathy, a visual impairment; Cheyne–Stokes respiration, an abnormal respiration pattern; Child sex ratio, ratio between female and male births; Class switch recombination, a process that changes the constant region of an immunoglobulin; Clinical study report, on a clinical trial
Chorioretinitis is an inflammation of the choroid (thin pigmented vascular coat of the eye) and retina of the eye. It is a form of posterior uveitis.Inflammation of these layers can lead to vision-threatening complications.
While it does not result in complete blindness, loss of central vision can make it hard to recognize faces, drive, read, or perform other activities of daily life. [1] Visual hallucinations may also occur. [1] Macular degeneration typically occurs in older people, [1] and is caused by damage to the macula of the retina. [1]
