Transient fluorescein leakage simulating subretinal membrane: a diagnostic dilemma

A 68-year-old woman with blurred vision had a foveal spot of fluorescein leakage that later was found to be a transient leakage. The clinical picture resembled central serous chorioretinopathy, a rare diagnosis in older patients. Other possible diagnoses (e.g., subretinal neovascular membrane or epiretinal membrane) are discussed as is the need for laser treatment.
