Central Serous Chorıoretınopathy After Vestıbular Schwannoma Treatment: A Case Report
Journal Title: Ophthalmology and Vision Science - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSR) is a disease that typically occurs in young males which is characterized with central serous detachments that regress spontaneously. Most of the cases recover spontaneously in a few weeks, however in some cases it can become chronicle, permanent or last as long as six months or longer. The 54-year-old-patient with Vestibular Schwannoma (VS) who had consulted to Istanbul Okmeydani Research and Training Hospital Ophthalmology Clinicwith the complaint of decreased vision in the right eye has been diagnosed with chronicle CSR. Since it is well-known that corticosteroid usage is an important risk factor for CSR, it has been considered interesting for etiological assignation that the case had received Cyber Knife treatment due to VS during the same period. It should be taken into consideration that secondary CSR can develop with steroid treatment which is used with CyberKnife treatment that is practiced currently and increasingly for the treatment of many tumor types.
