Central serous chorioretinopathy is a retinal disorder, which affects the macula. The condition is associated with an elevation of the macula due to leakage of fluid from the choroidal circulation behind it. The leakage occurs through a defect in the tissue layer known as the retinal pigment epithelium. The retinal pigment epithelium is a single–celled layer that lies between the retina and the choroid. This tissue layer normally serves to prevent fluid from the choroidal circulation from leaking under the retina. In central serous chorioretinopathy, fluid equilibrium is disturbed leading to leakage beneath the retina, which elevates it to produce a macular detachment, which distorts vision.
