Masqueraders of central serous chorioretinopathy

Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is one of the most common chorioretinal pathologies affecting middle-aged men worldwide. Although it has a self-limited course, a significant number of patients suffer from chronic and recurrent episodes. This often leaves the patient with various degrees of visual impairment. The situation is further aggravated by the fact that it is one of the most common conditions to be misdiagnosed. Because of overlapping features with other diseases or the atypical presentation of the disease itself, CSCR is a great mimicker and is one of the commonest causes of referral. We describe some of the conditions which can masquerade as CSCR. (C) 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
