Serous Chorioretinopathy

[batninth]

Was diagnosed a few months ago with Right Central Serous Chorioretinopathy, and told at the time that it was temporary and would most likely clear in 6 months or so.

Having had no change since it was diagnosed, I have talked to my GP who has told me to expect some residual damage.

Has anyone any experience of this and if so did it clear itself up for you?

Thanks

Serous Chorioretinopathies [U.K] or RetinoChoroidapathy [US]], refers to a condition of leaking fats [transudate or exudate, can't remember now] and some common systemic causes must be rules out, for the source of the leakage:
here's some possibities both RARE and COMMON and the checks

1 How's your blood pressure, because blood flow to the eye can be excessive thereby leading to disruption of both choroidal and retinal blood flow ask your doc about 'Essential hypertension ????.
2. Check those kidneys just in case BUN-Ceatinine, GFR, electrolytes. if fine then routine test
3. Rule out endocrine causes [TSH thyroid, free catecholamines adrenal's-two rare culprits -all of this probably has been done, except adrenal test not routine
4. Lipids-ok [LDL, HDL,VHDL Triglycerides ]? routine
5.Common - idiopathic=No cause

If no obvious cause found, then see an ophthomolgist
sorry, for tardy reply, but I just found this thread today

I forgot to ask how old are you? this can make a difference, younger folks may have a more complex presentation and sometimes worse, older folks may show more idiopathic changes [vide supra]

also have subspecialist in optho. such as Eye-pathology, I'm not gonna even attempt to spell it
