Abstract : Introduction: -central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is a a retinal disease characterized by serous neurosensory detachment secondary to focal leakage at the retinal pigment epithelium. The main objective of our study is to establish the relation ship between stress and the occurrence of CRSC with a structured approach using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10). Methods:- We conducted a prospective case-control study comparing the PSS-10 stress score in patients with CSCR and in control patients with ocular pathology other than CSCR. Results: -Over a 3-year period from October 2019 to October 2022, 10 patients diagnosed with CSCR were matched for age and sex with the control group with different ocular pathologies. The stress score for the group of cases was 28.8, and for the controls 21.30, and since the size of our sample is less than 10 (less than 30); the verification of the normality of the distribution of the sample with significance at 5% (P=0.2). Conclusion: -The results obtained are statistically significant, concluding that there is a difference in mean between the two groups and consequently the influence of stress on the occurrence of CSCR.

Keywords : CSCR, Stress, Serous Retinal Detachment.
