A 39-year-old patient presented with a decrease in vision in the right eye for 7 months. The best-corrected visual acuity was 6/24 and intraocular pressure was 20 mmHg. Fundus examination revealed a yellowish-white juxta foveal lesion with a translucent center [Figure 1]a. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) revealed a circular subretinal hyperreflective lesion with central hyporeflectivity [Figure 1]b. Diagnosis of fibrinous central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) was made. Hyporeflective spot on SD-OCT in fibrinous CSCs is a crucial sign of leak secondary to retinal pigment epithelial defect in most of the cases, where fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) is not possible.[1],[2] | Figure 1: Hyporeflective spot in fibrinous central serous chorioretinopathy, (a) Fundus photograph showing yellowish-white juxta-foveal lesion with a translucent center (dotted circle). (b) SD-OCT scan passing through the lesion showing the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) detachment, dipping of outer retinal layers (white arrow) is seen above hyporeflective spot suggestive of a potential site of leak leading to the neurosensory detachment at the fovea, with elongation of photoreceptor outer segment along with subtle RPE thickening
