Abstract

PURPOSE
The relationship between central serous chorioretinopathy associated with retinal macrovessel remains controversial due to its rareness. We report a case of central serous chorioretinopathy diagnosed by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in a patient with a retinal macrovessel that improved spontaneously.
CASE SUMMARY
A 36-year-old healthy male patient visited our clinic complaining of blurred vision in his left eye. Fundus examination of the left eye revealed central serous chorioretinopathy with retinal macrovessel in the macular area. Fundus fluorescent angiography showed an ink blot-shaped leakage, which was not clearly distinguishable due to a retinal macrovessel. Serous retinal detachment under the neurosensory retina was identified on OCT. A small pigment epithelial detachment was observed and considered as a leaking point. However, no visible exudates appeared to be leaking around the retinal macrovessel.
CONCLUSIONS
Central serous chorioretinopathy with a retinal macrovessel in a Korean patient was evaluated by SD-OCT. When compared with typical cases, no differences were observed in this case and no significant associations between central serous chorioretinopathy and retinal macrovessel were shown.
