Introduction: Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is a macular retinal serous detachment associated with one or more leak points in the pigment epithelium. We present a case of spontaneous evolution in the 3 rd trimester of pregnancy in a primiparous woman. Observation: This was a 27-year-old student, admitted for a sharp drop in visual acuity in the left eye. During the interrogation, a notion of 32 weeks of pregnancy-induced amenorrhea and a context of preparations for end-of-year school exams were noted. Ophthalmological examination revealed visual acuity in the left eye limited to counting the fingers at 3 meters. In the eye fundus, a bubble occupying the macular region of the left eye appeared. The examination of the right eye was strictly normal. The general examination was normal with normal blood pressure. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) brought out a large serous retinal detachment confirming the diagnosis. Faced with this diagnosis of central serous chorioretinopathy, therapeutic abstention with surveillance has been proposed. The delivery route was discussed because of the impact of pushing phases during vaginal delivery on the existing CSCR. Ophthalmologic examination performed 3 months after vaginal delivery was strictly normal with visual acuity at 10/10 th and total disappearance of retinal detachment at OCT. Discussion: Central serous chorioretinopathy is a relatively common ocular condition but whose pathophysiology is still controversial. Pregnancy is a known risk factor for central serous chorioretinopathy. The spontaneous resorption of central serous chorioretinopathy during pregnancy is reported in the literature, hence a therapeutic abstention with ophthalmological monitoring. Conclusion: Pregnancy in a primiparous woman is a stress factor that can promote central serous chorioretinitis.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to describe the eye signs seen in patients on chronic hemodialysis at Cocody University Hospital and the factors influencing their occurrence. Material and Methods: We carried out in the Ophthalmology Department of Cocody University Hospital a cross-sectional study over 15 months. It focused on 132 patients on chronic hemodialysis followed in the hemodialysis department of Cocody University Hospital. Results: Hypertensive nephropathy was the leading cause of chronic renal failure (58%). The most common ocular functional sign was loss of visual acuity (LVA) (38%), followed by ocular pruritus (22%). Twenty-one percent (21%) of our patients were visually impaired (MAVLC < 3/10). The adnexal lesions were polymorphic. The most commonly encountered were dry eye (14%) and eyelid edema (8%). The anterior segment involvement was dominated by cataract (28%). Hypertensive retinopathy was noted in 42% of patients. The frequency of ophthalmological manifestations decreased as the duration of dialysis increased. Discussion: Eye manifestations in people with chronic renal failure and on hemodialysis are variable. Several factors are involved, mainly hypertension; first and foremost is hypertension. Correction of these factors is necessary to prevent blindness.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
