SLEEP APNEA POSSIBLE RISK FACTOR FOR CSR

SpringerLink - Journal Article:

Conclusions:

"We found that 22% of the patients with acute or chronic Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSC) in this case series also suffered from Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS), whereas in the general population OSAS is considerably less frequently reported (2–4%). OSAS therefore may act as a risk factor for the development of CSC."
