of 30 and 50 years (Yannuzzi 1986; Wang et al. 2008). Rarely, the presentation of exudative retinal detachments has been reported in younger patients in association with leukaemia (Stewart et al. 1989). These three young patients had all of the typical clinical characteristics of CSC, and to our knowledge, there is no previous report of CSC in patients younger than 25 years, even in large series of consecutive patients (Loo et al. 2002). Sometimes, CSC can be associated with psychosocial stress, the use of corticosteroids and recreational drugs (Yannuzzi 1986; Gass & Little 1995; Hassan et al. 2001). Only one patient reported intermittent use of glucocorticosteroids, and none reported episodes with psychosocial stress or recreational drugs. Our observation suggests that the clinical spectrum of CSC is wider than previously described. CSC as seen in our patients is rare, but possibly underreported, because chronic CSC may be unexpected in patients who do not have a history of prior acute CSC, especially if they are younger than 25 years.
