Abstract

Aim: To describe the spectrum, clinical profile of patients presenting as inflammatory aetiologies that resembled Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR).

Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients from October 2019 to June 2021 with an initial diagnosis of inflammatory pathologies which were subsequently revisited as CSCR.

Results : Among 9 patients, posterior scleritis (n=2, 22%), VKH(n=3, 33% ), idiopathic choroiditis (n=2,22%), others (n=2,22%) were seen. When the clinical course was inconsistent with diagnosis, investigations were revisited. FFA and ICG had features suggestive of pin point leak(85%), absence of disc leak(80%) and other subtle features(15%) that helped us clinch a diagnosis of CSCR.

Conclusion: Meticulous evaluation, appropriate multimodal imaging, close follow up are vital in differentiating CSCR from the inflammatory mimickers.
