Second Tokyo National Hospital, Japan.

Three patients with idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy (ICSC) and bullous retinal detachment (RD) were examined at least 2 years after the onset of the disease in one patient and over 10 years in the other two patients. There were large areas of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) degeneration in each patient. Interestingly, there was loss of retinal vascular trees in the inferior peripheral retina where the subretinal fluid presumably persisted for a long time. In one patient, there was a retinal neovascularization with sea-fan formation along the border of the vascular loss. To the authors' knowledge, this finding has not been described in the literature.

D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
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.
