Central serous retinopathy (CSR), also known as central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC or CSCR), is an eye disease which causes visual impairment, often temporary, usually in one eye. When the disorder is active it is characterized by leakage of fluid under the retina that has a propensity to accumulate under the central macula. This results in blurred or distorted vision (metamorphopsia). A blurred or gray spot in the central visual field is common when the retina is detached. Reduced visual acuity may persist after the fluid has disappeared.
This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code H35.711 and a single ICD9 code, 362.41 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
Central serous retinopathy involves a breakdown of the outer blood-retinal barrier resulting in a localized detachment of the sensory retina in the macula region. The condition is usually unitateral and occurs secondary to retinal pigment epithelial defect.
The symptoms of central ser ous retinopathy vary from no symptoms to severe visual impairment. Patients with early disease my report blurred vision, decreased vision, or mild visual distortion. More advanced presentations often produce metamorphopsia, micropsia, or other abnormal visual distortion of shape and size.
