[edit] Sub

Sub-retinal neovascularisation is not a clearly proven complication of CSR. It may occur if laser photocoagulation has been done for the treatment of CSR.

Regarding the longterm follow-up and outcome of CSR, no adequate figures are available.

The cited 50% severe visual loss is based on a study of 6 patients (11 eyes), which where followed for a long time. [reference 9]

Not only is this number extremely low, only patients with a sufficient long term follow up could be included in this study. This probably is a subgroup of patients with persisting CSR related problems, or concommitant eye diseases. Most CSR patients are discharged from clinics within 3 to 12 months of follow up.

CSR is not restricted to males.

[edit] External links

External links on Wikipedia are supposed to be "encyclopedic in nature" and useful to a worldwide audience. Please read the external links policy (and perhaps the specific rules for medicine-related articles) before adding more external links.

The following kinds of links are inappropriate:

  • Online discussion groups or chat forums
  • Personal webpages and blogs
  • Multiple links to the same website
  • Fundraising events or groups
  • Websites that are recruiting for clinical trials
  • Websites that are selling things (e.g., books or memberships)

I realize that some links are helpful to certain users, but they still do not comply with Wikipedia policy, and therefore must not be included in the article. WhatamIdoing (talk) 07:49, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
