Abstract

The incidence of central serous neuro-epithelial detachment in the population living in the health district Prague-10 was found to be one in 22.000 inhabitants a year. The cases were classified into three types:

A. Inkblot diffusion 60%; B. upward diffusion 25%; C. congregation type 15%. The site of leakage was usually in the upper part of the detached retina or slightly below the horizontal line.

Relapses were observed in 16 out of 79 patients, 20%, usually stemming from the original leak. The average re-attachment time was 98 days. In 10% a chronic course led to extensive dystrophy of the pigment epithelium.
