Central Serous Chorioretinopathy in Course of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome - Literature Review

Abstract

Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is one of several retinal disorders that may cause visual loss. It is characterized by serous detachment of the neurosensory retina, often associated with focal detachments of an altered retinal pigment epithelium, mostly confined to the macular area. As CSCR is considered to be correlated with an increased level of testosterone, it was of the interest if it is also linked to the occurrence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
