Abstract:
We report a case of acute bilateral central serous chorioretinopathy in a patient who received a local injection of triamcinolone for the treatment of plantar fasciitis. Central serous chorioretinopathy is a serious, though rare, ocular complication of steroid treatment and it may occur even when the steroid is administered at a site as remote from the eye as the foot. This case report highlights the need for greater awareness of this complication amongst all medical personnel who prescribe steroids. It is advisable that patients, undergoing steroid treatment for any cause, be alerted to the risk of sudden visual impairment.
