Abstract | PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to observe the varied types of manifestations in the fundus of patients with idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy (ICSC) without laser treatment and also to assess the ultimate visual outcome in such cases in a long-term follow-up ranging from 7 to 23 years. METHODS: This study is confined to 5 selected cases of ICSC which fairly represent the different types of late stage manifestations of the disease in the fundus. Case records from our hospital, as well as available records of previous treatment elsewhere were reviewed. A complete ophthalmological examination, routine laboratory investigations and fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA) were repeated in each case on the day of final evaluation. RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: ICSC runs an unpredictable course and there are no definitive clinical clues to predict its ultimate outcome. Recurrence of the condition is a possibility for a considerable period of time.
