[Central serous chorioretinopathy versus sympathetic ophthalmia. Case report].
METHODS
A 29 year old patient with a history of sutured corneal wound treated with oral antibiotics and steroids. After stopping steroid treatment, he referred reduced visual acuity in the non-traumatized eye. Previous treatment was reintroduced and he was referred to our hospital diagnosed with sympathetic ophthalmia. Bilateral macular folds, white and yellowish lesions, and subretinal fluid were found.


CONCLUSIONS
The association of stress, anxious personality, and steroid use can favor atypical presentations of central serous chorioretinopathy.
