Central Serous Chorioretinopathy Associated with Desmopressin Nasal Spray: Causality or Unfortunate Association.
Case Reports in Ophthalmology 2018 January
Purpose: To describe the possible association between central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) and desmopressin use.
Methods: The case histories of 2 middle-aged men with CSCR using desmopressin nasal spray were studied.
Results: The diagnosis of CSCR was made on the basis of clinical features and ancillary testing (fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography). Both patients were using desmopressin nasal spray for polyuria when they developed the first ocular symptoms. Both of them also had an independent risk factor for developing CSCR.
Conclusion: We suggest that desmopressin-induced hypercortisolism might implicate the development of CSCR in some patients. A larger study on patients using desmopressin nasal spray would be beneficial to confirm the possible association between this form of therapy and the development of CSCR.
