Multifocal serous choroidopathy. 1975

P R O'Connor

Six percent of young and middle-age adults with idiopathic central serous choroidopathy were found to have bilateral multifocal areas of pigment epithelial detachments and transmissional defects during fluorescein angiography. The usual features of this chronic and recurring disease warrant its classification as a specific syndrome. The maculopathy is generally unresponsive to steroid therapy and may require photocoagulation to effect a cure.

D012163	Retinal Detachment	Separation of the inner layers of the retina (neural retina) from the pigment epithelium. Retinal detachment occurs more commonly in men than in women, in eyes with degenerative myopia, in aging and in aphakia. It may occur after an uncomplicated cataract extraction, but it is seen more often if vitreous humor has been lost during surgery.
