Investigating the hypothesis of stress system dysregulation as a risk factor for central serous chorioretinopathy: a literature mini-review
BACKGROUND: This mini-review addressed the question "what do we know about the association between the dysregulation of stress systems (HPA axis and SAM) and the onset and prognosis of CSC in adult populations?"
METHODS: The literature mini-review was conducted through electronic searches using the PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. All published human and animal studies with both observational and experimental designs from 1966 to October 2018 were included.
