Central serous chorioretinopathy in two families

Purpose and Methods. The reported occurrence of central serous chorioretino pathy (CSCR) in families is rare. We report two families (five patients) wh o have been diagnosed with CSCR. The diagnosis of CSCR was made on clinical and fluorescein angiographic findings. Results. Three members of the first family and two members of the second fa mily had CSCR. Affected individuals were all males. Conclusions. CSCR has been associated with psychological and emotional stre ss and the occurrence of CSCR in families may be due to similar inherited p sychological and physiological characteristics and responses that predispos e these families to the development of CSCR.
