摘要
We report a case of a young man aged 38 years who complained of seeing a black spot in front of his left eye Oculus sinister (OS) for 5 days. He had been applying minoxidil topically for the treatment of androgenic alopecia for 8 months. Both eyes’ Oculus uterque (OU) anterior segments were within normal limits. The OS posterior segment showed subretinal fluid (SRF) in association with a serous pigment epithelium detachment (PED). He was diagnosed with acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) secondary to the prolonged use of topical minoxidil. He was advised to cease minoxidil application as a first line of treatment. He followed up for 3 months, the SRF was observed to decrease at every follow-up, and the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved from 6/9, N6 to 6/6, N6. CSCR associated with topical minoxidil use is a rare entity, and a treating dermatologist must counsel the patient regarding the same while initiating the treatment.
