“…The risk factors in favor of idiopathic origin found in our patients were: stress, extreme anxiety, insomnia, Type-A personality. Similar to the observations of European [5] [6] [7] [8] and African [9] [10] [11] authors especially that of Ivory Coast [10].…”

Introduction: Idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy (ICSC) is characterized by the buildup of fluid leading to circumscribed elevation of the retina within the posterior pole. This condition affects young people between the ages of 20 -50 years. The disease is seen predominantly in men as compared to women. We report the cases of two (02) patients received in consultation at IOTA-Teaching Hospital between July 2019 and February 2020. Case Presentation: We report two cases of Idiopathic stress central serous chorioretinopathy. The first case is a 37-year-old man that we received in consultation for visual acuity decrease from a sudden installation for 1 hour. The clinical and paraclinical arguments permitted us to retain the diagnosis of Idiopathic stress central serous chorioretinopathy. The patient benefited from laser treatment and the clinical evolution was good. The second case is a 42-year-old man, who consulted for a sudden reduction of visual acuity that had been evolving for 3 weeks. The clinical and paraclinical contexts were in favour of the diagnosis of Idiopathic stress central serous chorioretinopathy. The patient was treated with spironolactone. The clinical evolution was favourable. Conclusion: Our study confirms the existence of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) in Black African patients. Studies show the connection between CSC and stress.

“…Moreover, higher levels of psychological stress could lead to the more severe forms of acute CSCR with incomplete vision recovery [ 28 ]. The possible association between the development of CSCR and stressful events such as divorce, bankruptcy, close relatives’ illness, political/military crisis, economic crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic has also been described [ 1 , 29 – 31 ].…”

Unraveling the Puzzle of Central Serous Chorioretinopathy: Exploring Psychological Factors and Pathophysiological Mechanisms

Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is a relatively common retinal disease involving the localized serous detachment of the neurosensory retina from the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Research suggests that individuals with a Type A personality, exhibiting traits such as competitiveness, urgency, aggression, and hostility, are significantly more prone to developing CSCR. Several studies have confirmed that a propensity to stress as well as different stressful events may predispose subjects to the development and recurrence of CSCR. Patients with CSCR are more depressive, report a higher level of anxiety and use more psychopharmacologic medications. Despite the research conducted on the topic, it remains unclear how a variety of psychological factors can contribute to dysfunction and pathological changes in the choroid and RPE. Some authors propose that increased levels of sympathetic neurotransmitters and glucocorticoids may alter the choroidal blood flow and increase the permeability of choriocapillaris in CSCR patients. It is generally accepted that hyperpermeable choroidal vessels are responsible for increased tissue hydrostatic pressure, which promotes RPE detachment, breaks the barrier function of the RPE and leads to subretinal fluid accumulation. Although the etiological factors and pathophysiological mechanisms have still not been fully clarified, CSCR is most likely a multifactorial disease involving disturbed interrelationships between biological and psychological factors. This comprehensive review aims to provide an up-to-date exploration of the psychological factors and pathophysiological mechanisms associated with CSCR.
