[Central serous chorioretinopathy and systemic diseases report of 2 cases associated with corticotherapy].
INTRODUCTION: Central serous chorioretinopathy is an uncommon retinal disease, whose pathogenesis is largely unknown. It is characterized by an accumulation of subretinal fluid at the posterior pole of the fundus, creating a circumscribed area of serous retinal detachment. It manifests generally as a visual loss or an abnormal colour vision. It is often idiopathic but may also be associated with numerous pathological situations, with frequent exposure to corticosteroids. EXEGESIS: We report on two patients with central serous chorioretinopathy. The first female patient had been treated with steroids for a systemic lupus erythematosus for fifteen years, and the second male patient had been treated with steroids for an idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome for a few months. Visual loss led to a diagnosis of central serous chorioretinopathy. Lowering of steroids doses was followed by a clinical improvement in both cases. CONCLUSION: Similarly to cataract or glaucoma, central serous chorioretinopathy belongs to the potential ocular side-effect of steroid treatment, and thus deserves to be known by internists.
