What is idiopathic central serous choroidopathy?
Question:
Answers:
Central serous retinopathy is a relatively common condition in which a "blister" or serous retinal detachment forms between the two layers, the retinal pigment epithelium and the neurosensory retina.
It is also known as ICSC (idiopathic central serous choroidopathy), since the leaks may originate from a problem in the choroid. The leakage is usually localized, but can be extensive. Individuals between the ages of twenty and fifty-five may develop this condition. Men are 10 times more likely than women to develop this condition. The typical symptoms may include blurred vision, distortion, altered color perception, reduced image size and a central blind spot. The onset of symptoms is usually sudden. Vision may vary from 20/20 to 20/400. Treatment is usually not necessary, because nearly 90% of individuals spontaneously recover 20/30 vision or better. The recovery usually occurs in one to six months.
