PURPOSE: To describe 3 cases of chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) in the pediatric patient population. METHODS: Retrospective case series. RESULTS: We report three pediatric patients with CSCR. All patients initially presented following failed vision screens or during routine office examinations. All patients presented with macula-involving subretinal fluid and multimodal imaging features consistent with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy. At last-follow-up, 1 patient had minimal residual subretinal fluid, 1 patient had a small recurrence of subretinal fluid, and 1 patient had persistent subretinal fluid. CONCLUSIONS: While CSCR classically occurs in adults, it can be seen in pediatric patients. Given the rarity of this condition in the pediatric population, CSCR may go undetected and underreported with diagnosis resulting from failed vision screens.
