Abstract
To describe new evidence supporting a theory on the etiology of the focal retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) leak in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).
The records of two patients with CSC were reviewed, including examination details and results of fluorescein angiography, fundus autofluorescence imaging, and optical coherence tomography (OCT).
A defect in the RPE monolayer demonstrated with OCT that corresponded to the site of the focal leak shown by fluorescein angiography was found in both patients.
The focal leak shown by fluorescein angiography in patients with active CSC is caused by an RPE defect in at least some cases. This finding supports a previously reported theory on the pathogenesis of CSC.
