| description | Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is potentially sight-threatening and has been associated with corticosteroid use. CSCR secondary to steroid use can sometimes be challenging to treat, especially if continuing steroid use is medically necessary.

This challenge-rechallenge case may be helpful to clinicians in delineating a treatment paradigm for these patients. |
