Abstract:
Central serous chorioretinopathy has three patterns: the first or typical form with one or several points of diffusion; the second, diffuse retinal pigment epitheliopathy; and the third, the bullous form of serous chorioretinopathy. The authors present a case of a 55-year-old male presenting with diffuse retinal pigment epitheliopathy and topical treatment of psoriasis, with a 9-year history of corticoid ointment use, associated with cyclosporine over the last year. The topical treatment was discontinued and the patient recovered his vision, with a final visual acuity of 5/10 in the right eye and 4/10 in the left eye.
