ABSTRACT
Central serous chorioretinopathy is often associated with a "classic" presentation of unilateral, macular lesions that result in blur, metamorphopsia and/or scotoma of the affected eye. The condition features serous retinal detachments with or without focal serous retinal pigment epithelium detachments. This report presents two cases of non-macular chronic serous chorioretinopathy. In both cases, the patient was asymptomatic, and the lesions identified incidentally. This report alerts providers to the possibility of chronic serous chorioretinopathy in non-macular locations with subtle or no symptomatology.

Behavioral studies, as well as anatomical and physiological data, suggest differences in functionality for inferior and superior visual fields. Previous investigations comparing latencies of the two fields have employed motor reaction times. This approach is of limited usefulness in elderly clinical populations where various degrees of motor impairment may be present. In this report, we describe a simultaneity paradigm that allows the determination of relative latencies without dependence on motor reaction times. A slightly, but statistically significant, shorter latency (3.9+/-5.9ms) was found for the superior visual field. The results are not affected by age, and both within- and between-session variability are low.
