Central Serous Chorioretinopathy
Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) was first described by von Graefe in 1866, who named it as 'relapsing central luetic retinitis'[1] A variety of names have since been used to describe this idiopathic detachment of the neurosensory retina.[2] It was more than 100 years later that Maumenee, using fluorescein angioscopy, noted that the detachment of the macula resulted from a leak at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)[5] Subsequently, Gass provided detailed descriptions of the fluorescein angiographic characteristics of CSC. In 1965 and 1967, the current terms of CSC3 and idiopathic central serous choroidopathy[4] (ICSC) were first introduced to describe the same disease.
