Cystoid retinal degeneration in eyes with chronic CSC was distributed outside of the fovea and was not necessarily associated with severely reduced visual acuity. "Posterior cystoid retinal degeneration" defines this pathologic pattern appropriately. OCT findings suggest that intraretinal exudation and cystoid changes in chronic CSC develop through the formation of chorioretinal adherences.

Disease duration longer than 5 years and subretinal fibrosis are associated with the development of PCRD in CSC. Prospective evaluations could substantiate the associations found in this study and further clarify their significance.
