Abstract
GOMEZ-VALCARCEL, M; SINISTERRA-PAVA, JP and ARELLANES-GARCIA, L. Central serous chorioretinopathy versus sympathetic ophthalmia: Case report. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2004, vol.79, n.10, pp.507-510. ISSN 0365-6691.
Clinical case: A 29 year old patient with a history of sutured corneal wound treated with oral antibiotics and steroids. After stopping steroid treatment, he referred reduced visual acuity in the non-traumatized eye. Previous treatment was reintroduced and he was referred to our hospital diagnosed with sympathetic ophthalmia. Bilateral macular folds, white and yellowish lesions, and subretinal fluid were found. Discussion: The association of stress, anxious personality, and steroid use can favor atypical presentations of central serous chorioretinopathy.
Keywords : Central serous chorioretinopathy; sympathetic ophthalmia; ocular trauma.
