Why is there subretinal fluid at the macula?
Reviewed by Zhihang Cheng

This is a review article looking at the differential diagnosis of subretinal fluid in the macula that could be diagnosed as central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). The authors have categorised them into 12 groups: neovascular diseases, vitelliform lesions, inflammatory diseases, ocular tumours, haematological malignancies, paraneoplastic syndromes, genetic diseases, ocular developmental anomalies, medication-related conditions and toxicity-related diseases, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and tractional retinal detachment, retinal vascular diseases and miscellaneous diseases. The authors have compiled comprehensive clinical characteristic features for each condition and treatment options if available. The article is a helpful tool in differentiating subretinal fluid on optical coherence imaging, particularly in challenging cases.
