Abstract

Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is characterized by a localized serous detachment of the neuroretina (DSR), associated with detachments of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) at the posterior pole [1]and a leakage of fluid in the subretinal space. Pregnancy, Type A personality, and systemic corticosteroid therapy are the main risk factors for Central Serous Chorioretinopathy [ 2] We report the case of a patient who developed central serous chorioretinopathy following the oral intake of 20mg tadalafil erectile dysfunction, suggesting a possible involvement of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors as a risk factor for central serous chorioretinopathy.
