A Case of Atypical Central Serous Chorioretinopathy in Occult Pulmonary Tuberculosis at MDR-Lighthouse Medical Eye Centre Lokoja
Abstract
Background: Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is a common cause of acute or subacute unilateral central vision loss, characterized by serous neurosensory macula detachment due to increased permeability of the choroidal capillaries alongside retinal pigment epithelial dysfunction.1,2,3 Atypical CSCR cases are usually characterised by multiple or large serous macula detachments which do not resolve spontaneously unlike in typical CSCR, in addition to unusual Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA) patterns.4,5,6,7
