โœฆ Synopsis

We report 6 cases of central serous choroidopathy (including pigment epithelial dctachment in one case) which appeared in the course of systemic corticostcroid administration conducted to cure concurrent general diseases, and in one patient with a steroidreleasing pituitary adenoma. Tile majority of cases arose within about one month following the administration of more than 200 mg of prednisolon. It is postulated that corticosteroids operate as a kind of stress intervening in the hypophysis-adrenal system, leading eventually to the development of central serous choroidopathy.
