HUMAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) is downloaded weekly from http://compbio.charite.de/hudson/job/hpo/lastStableBuild/artifact/ontology/release/hp.obo. The file downloaded is considered the "last stable build" available for the ontology. For more about the HPO, view their website at http://www.human-phenotype-ontology.org/.

Definition:An anomaly of the retina with serous detachment of the neurosensory retina secondary to one or more focal lesions of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), and associated with blurred vision, usually in one eye only and perceived typically by the patient as a dark spot in the center of the visual field with associated micropsia and metamorphopsia. Normal vision often recurs spontaneously within a few months.
Comment:The condition can be precipitated by psychosocial stress and hypercortisolism. Ophthalmoscopic signs of CSC range from mono- or paucifocal RPE lesions with prominent elevation of the neurosensory retina by clear fluid - typical of cases of recent onset - to shallow detachments overlying large patches of irregularly depigmented RPE. The spectrum of lesions includes RPE detachments. Granular or fibrinous material may accumulate in the subretinal cavity. Serous detachment often resolves spontaneously.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: central serous retinopathy
