| Résumé : | Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a relatively frequent ocular disorder. Its pathophysiology remains however unclear. This disease typically affects young men with type A behaviour within a context of stressful events. Recently, endogenous or exogenous hypercortisolism has been associated with development, prolongation and exacerbation of CSC. Exogenous hypercortisolism has been induced by any route: intravenous, cutaneous, or nasal spray. Some clinical features such as bilaterality of lesions, an atypical form of the presentation can evoke this association. Although a few years ago glucocorticoids were still used as treatment of CSC, experimental and clinical observations suggest that they are contra-indicated in the context of CSC. |
