[Central serous chorioretinopathy and serous detachment of the pigmentary epithelium. Pathogeny relations]

A number of 7 cases of association of pigment epithelial serous detachment with central serous chorioretinopathy were described. The dye leakages were located at the periphery of the serous detachment (6 cases) and on its anterior surface (1 case). These are due to RPE breaking, as a result of the tension exerted by the build up of choroidal exudate în the subretinal space. Given the circumstances, central serous chorioretinopathy is an atypical clinical type, subsequent to the alterations of the overlying pigment epithelium. This one is differing from the classic type, because of the wide area of the serous detachment and the peripheral location of the dye leakages.
