A 40-year-old male patient followed for 5 years in dermatology for psoriasis treated with topical corticosteroids who presented to the emergency department for a reduction in visual acuity at 3/10 in his right eye associated with a macular syndrome.  Optical coherence tomography was performed urgently and revealed central serous chorioretinitis. The treatment has been stopped , the patient was seen a week later with visual acuity recovery from 3/10 to 9/10, with improvement in macular syndrome.
