title: A new treatment approach - Eplerenone - in central serous chorioretinopathy - Case report.
abstract: We report the case of a 46-year-old patient, medical doctor with a relapsing unilateral CRSC-Central Serous Chorioretinopathy who was treated after an initial medical therapy (oral carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, oral antihistamines, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs - systemic and topical), with an oral aldosterone antagonist-Eplerenone (Inspra), resulted in significant anatomic and visual improvements.Abbreviations:CRSC = Central Serous Chorioretinopathy, R.E. = right eye, L.E. = left eye, BCVA = best corrected visual acuity, RPE = retinal pigment epithelium, OCT = optical coherence tomography, FDA = food and drug administration.
