Abstract
-
Central serous chorioretinopathy was defined as an isolated serous elevation of macular retina unassociated with subretinal blood, optic nerve head pathology, or evidence of other retinochoroidal or systemic disease. A review of 259 consecutive cases of patients under the age of 40 years with central serous chorioretinopathy seen between 1976 and 1985 was performed in order to define temporal patterns of occurrence. Although an increased number of cases were seen in June and July, a statistical trend analysis failed to confirm a defini te seasonal variation(p>0.1).
