Six cases of central serous choroidopathy induced by systemic corticosteroid therapy
Abstract:
We report 6 cases of central serous choroidopathy (including pigment epithelial detachment in one case) which appeared in the course of systemic corticosteroid administration conducted to cure concurrent general diseases, and in one patient with a steroid-releasing pituitary adenoma. The majority of cases arose within about one month following the administration of more than 200 mg of prednisolon. It is postulated that corticosteroids operate as a kind of stress intervening in the hypophysis-adrenal system, leading eventually to the development of central serous choroidopathy.
