A new therapeutical approach to central serous retinopathy, a hypothesis.
The authors report two cases of patients affected by Central Serous Retinopathy (C.S.R.) lasting few days; they were immediately started with an antiviral therapy (Acycloguanosine) for few days and in both cases the regression of symptoms and a flat retina were observed after a very shorter time than the spontaneous course. A fluorescein angiography confirmed a healing of the leaking points very few days after the therapy was discontinued. The authors discuss their finding in relation to the latest hypothesis on C.S.R. pathogenesis.
