Sumario:PURPOSE: To report a case of bullous central serous chorioretinopathy presenting with large choroidal effusions. OBSERVATIONS: A patient presented with typical features of bullous central serous chorioretinopathy with large choroidal effusions. He had a previous history of bullous central serous chorioretinopathy in his other eye. The condition worsened after a short course of oral prednisolone, consistent with central serous chorioretinopathy. Surgical management with sclerectomies resulted in resolution of serous retinal detachment, choroidal effusions and subfoveal fluid. CONCLUSIONS: We report choroidal effusions as a potential manifestation of central serous chorioretinopathy which may aid in our understanding in the pathogenic mechanisms of this condition. Furthermore, we demonstrate that surgical sclerectomies as a potential treatment option for serous retinal detachment and choroidal effusions in this condition.
