Abstract
Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a condition usually seen in younger patients in which a neurosensory retinal detachment is noted with or without an associated pigment epithelial detachment. There has been great controversy about the pathogenesis of this condition. Some investigators believe that the primary abnormality is an alteration of the permeability of the choroidal blood vessels, while others have postulated that the permeability alterations are of RPE origin1–4.
