Purpose:
A case of central serous chorioretinopathy in a 28-year-old pregnant woman is reported.
Methods:
A complete ocular examination was performed including fundus biomicrospic examination and fluorescein angiography.
Results:
Examination of the left eye revealed central serous chorioretinopathy associated with greyish-white subretinal exudate. In the right eye, sequaele of asymptomatic central serous chorioretinopathy was found. Reattachment of the retina and dissolution of the exudate, with return of visual acuity to normal, occurred soon after delivery.
Conclusion:
This case report is the 19th case of central serous chorioretinopathy during pregnancy reported to date. Central serous chorioretinopathy in pregnant woman is often associated with subretinal exudation which is probably fibrinous in nature. The affection resolves spontaneously at the end of pregnancy or after delivery, but may recur in the context or outside of subsequent pregnancy. The special conditions of pregnancy, including haemodynamic, biological and psychological alterations may lead susceptible women to develop central serous chorioretinopathy.
