[Bilateral central serous chorioretinopathy with subretinal exudation].
METHODS
A 37-year-old man was referred because of a bilateral loss of visual acuity and metamorphopsia. On examination there was yellowish exudation bilaterally associated with serous retinal detachments, corresponding to hyperfluorescence spots in the early stage of fluorescein angiography. Photocoagulation of the leakage spots was performed in both eyes. Six months later he had recovered his visual acuity and the lesions had remitted.


CONCLUSIONS
The clinical findings, ancillary tests and subsequent clinical course allowed a diagnosis of Best's disease to be ruled out. The presence of sub-retinal yellowish exudation in the posterior pole does not necessarily rule out the diagnosis of central serous chorioretinopathy.
