Abstract
The cause of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is mostly idiopathic. Other cause such as stressful
event or use of corticosteroid has been associated with severe form of CSC. Atypical presentation of CSC
has widespread degeneration of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) or bullous retinal detachment. In this
report, we describe a case of bilateral CSC with RPE tear after epidural steroid injection.
