Central serous chorioretinopathy with angioid streaks: a rare combination
Purpose: This rare case shows the presence of both angioid streaks (AS) and central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) in the same eye. Methods: A 41-year-old Caucasian male who also has a positive family history of AS was diagnosed with angioid streaks. He was followed for few years, later developed CS...

description | Purpose: This rare case shows the presence of both angioid streaks (AS) and central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) in the same eye. Methods: A 41-year-old Caucasian male who also has a positive family history of AS was diagnosed with angioid streaks. He was followed for few years, later developed CSC in his good eye. Results: Fundus fluorescein led to the diagnosis of CSC and indocyanine green angiography ruled out the possibility of idiopathic polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (IPCV). The CSC followed a chronic course of non-resolution and finally half fluence photodynamic therapy was performed. Unfortunately, there was still some deterioration of vision with poor response. Conclusion: There is no known correlation between the two disorders and their presence in one eye has not been reported to our knowledge. |
