[Central serous chorioretinopathy in a kidney transplant patient].
We report a case of central serous chorioretinopathy in a patient who received a kidney transplant for chronic renal failure. We describe clinical and angiographic particularities and the progression of central serous chorioretinopathy in this case. Many factors can be involved in the occurrence of central serous chorioretinopathy in patients with kidney transplants, especially the hemodynamic problems related to renal failure and to the arterial hypertension that are often associated, the stress due to transplantation surgery, and the long-term corticotherapy prescribed postoperatively.
