Since the usefulness of topical corticosteroids in the treatment of ulcerative colitis was first reported1 double-blind trials have confirmed their effectiveness, and they are now widely used.2 For disease localised to the rectum suppositories, and for more extensive disease, retention enemas containing various corticosteroids are available (see table). In severe cases these preparations also valuably supplement systemic corticosteroid therapy, with or without sulphasalazine (Salazopyrin).

Purpose. To present evidence that systemic corticosteroid therapy may cause central serous chorioretinopathy. Methods. A 20-year-old male with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura was examined during systemic treatment with corticosteroids (100 mg daily). Results. The patient had central serous chorioretinopathy. Spontaneous recovery accompanied discontinuation of the steroid treatment. Conclusions. This case provides further evidence that Cortisol may play a role in the development of central serous chorioretinopathy.
