Abstract
Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a common chorioretinal disorder. It has been postulated that impaired retinal pigment epithelium and hyperpermeability of the choriocapillaris may be involved in the development of CSC, but the exact pathomechanism has not been established. We report an unusual [...] Read more.
Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a common chorioretinal disorder. It has been postulated that impaired retinal pigment epithelium and hyperpermeability of the choriocapillaris may be involved in the development of CSC, but the exact pathomechanism has not been established. We report an unusual case of a middle-aged man who developed CSC after triamcinolone acetonide injection for macular edema. Edema developed as a late complication of radiation retinopathy after brachytherapy for childhood retinoblastoma. Steroid treatment is an important risk factor for CSC, but the underlying causative mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. It is important to increase the awareness of this link among clinicians who prescribe exogenous corticosteroids, irrespective of the route of administration. Full article

Abstract
Radiation chorioretinopathy, radiation maculopathy, and radiation optic neuropathy are the major complications of ophthalmic radiotherapy. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) are revolutionary imaging methods, allowing the visualization of the retinal cellular architecture and the retinal vascular system, respectively. In recent [...] Read more.
Radiation chorioretinopathy, radiation maculopathy, and radiation optic neuropathy are the major complications of ophthalmic radiotherapy. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) are revolutionary imaging methods, allowing the visualization of the retinal cellular architecture and the retinal vascular system, respectively. In recent years this multimodal imaging approach has been applied to several retinal disease, but its role in the clinical characterization of retinal complications secondary to ophthalmic radiotherapy has not yet been defined. The purpose of this review is to critically evaluate the role of OCT and OCTA in the clinical assessment of radiation-induced chorioretinopathy, maculopathy, and optic neuropathy. Full article
