Clinical Case:
A 29 year old patient with a history of sutured corneal wound treated with oral antibiotics and steroids. After stopping steroid treatment, he referred reduced visual acuity in the non-traumatized eye. Previous treatment was reintroduced and he was referred to our hospital diagnosed with sympathetic ophthalmia. Bilateral macular folds, white and yellowish lesions, and subretinal fluid were found.
Discussion:
The association of stress, anxious personality, and steroid use can favor atypical presentations of central serous chorioretinopathy.
