A patient with ulcerative colitis and central serous chorioretinopathy—A therapeutic dilemma

Abstract: We report a case of a patient with ulcerative colitis and central serous retinopathy, which is a chronic ophthalmological condition that is frequently aggravated by corticosteroid treatment and may sometimes result in severe visual impairment. This case represents an interesting therapeutic dilemma pertaining to the treatment of ulcerative colitis exacerbation in a patient with this rare condition. Awareness of this condition as a cause of visual disturbance in IBD patients and a close ophthalmological coopera… Show more

“…Dryness is considered as coincidental for some, and as the first EIM for others [ 30 , 47 ]. Furthermore, the association between CSCR and IBD is mentioned in the literature, but usually in a context of corticosteroid use [ 48 , 49 , 50 ]. So, we have decided to classify CSCR in the diagnoses not related to IBD, because an absence of corticosteroid use in this case.…”

“…Many gastrointestinal disease states such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Helicobacter pylori infection, and inflammatory bowel disease have been linked with CSC. [ 131 132 ] However, it may very well be the case that this association is indirect, as inflammatory bowel diseases (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease) are often treated with corticosteroids. Alternatively, the associated ocular inflammation may provide a milieu conducive to choroidal hemodynamic alteration.…”
