Abstract
Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) occurs due to hyper-permeable choroidal capillaries, which, along with retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) dysfunction, causes a serous neurosensory retinal detachment. Circumscribed choroidal hemangiomas are also characterized by serous neurosensory detachment of the macula and cause degenerative changes to the RPE, rarely mimicking CSCR. Here, we present a case of CSCR in a middle-aged patient mimicking as a choroidal mass lesion who presented as a solitary choroidal elevation with subretinal fluid and posterior choroidal loculation of fluid and showed complete resolution of fluid after fundus fluorescence angiography-guided focal laser.
