Delayed Onset of Central Serous Chorioretinopathy following Corticosteroid Treatment for Giant Cell Arteritis: A Case Report
This case highlights the importance of considering CSCR in the differential diagnosis of new or worsening visual symptoms in GCA patients receiving corticosteroids. The risk for corticosteroid-induced CSCR in these patients creates a diagnostic challenge, as worsening vision may be incorrectly attributed to disease progression rather than being recognized as a treatment-related adverse effect. This case emphasizes the importance of early recognition of CSCR and highlights the need for interdisciplinary collaboration between rheumatologists and ophthalmologists to ensure appropriate management for patients with GCA.
