[Central serous chorioretinopathy and systemic steroid therapy].

Background: The manifestations of the ocular toxicity of systemic corticosteroids include posterior subcapsular cataracts and glaucoma. We describe 14 cases of serous detachment of the macula due to central serous chorioretinopathy in patients given long-term steroid therapy, which may be another potential ocular side effect of corticosteroid.

Cases Report: The 14 (9 men and 5 women) patients were aged from 39 to 55 year old.

Superselective ophthalmic artery fibrinolytic therapy for the treatment of central retinal vein occlusion.

Aim: To study the effect of superselective ophthalmic artery fibrinolysis as a treatment for central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).

Methods: Retrospective, university based single centre study. The charts of 26 eyes of 26 patients treated were reviewed.
