[Contribution to the problem of central serous retinal detachment (author's transl)].
We described extensive and multifocal serous detachment of the neuroretina in cases of Harada's disease, optic head pitting, coloboma of choroid and optic nerve-head and bullous retinal detachment (Gass). Peripapillary serous detachment occurred in an additional case after branch occlusion of central retinal artery. Systemic steroids were useful in Harada's disease. The other cases required photocoagulation or argon laser treatment. Bullous retinal detachment did not heal until a buckling procedure was performed. The serous detachment of the neuroretina is considered as an uniform tissue-reaction of choroid, pigmentepithelium and neuroretina. The pathogenesis for this is unknown.
