“…Consistent with previous studies, this study showed that pregnancy-associated CSC developed mostly in the third trimester and usually recovered spontaneously around the time of delivery with good final visual acuity [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

“…Acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC), a common macular disease, usually presents with a well-circumscribed serous retinal detachment at the posterior pole on clinical examination and one or more leakage points at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) on fluorescein angiography (FA) [1]. Pregnancy-associated CSC typically develops in the third trimester and is characterized by the onset of subretinal hyperreflective fibrin, spontaneous, and complete resolution of subretinal fluid around the time of delivery and good final visual acuity [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Cases have been reported in Caucasian, black, Native American, Hispanic, and Middle Eastern women [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

Purpose. To investigate the clinical characteristics of pregnancy-associated central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) in the Chinese population. Methods. The medical records of patients diagnosed with pregnancy-associated CSC from February 2012 to October 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), symptom duration, pregnancy-related medical information, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) images were collected. Results. Nine patients (11 eyes) were included. Five women were in their first pregnancy and four were in their second pregnancy, two of whom experienced CSC in their first pregnancy as well. The mean age was 35.00 ± 3.97 years. The mean symptom duration at the initial visit was 19.73 ± 13.65 days. The mean gestational age at the time of development of CSC was 27.11 ± 2.09 weeks. The mean BCVA (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR)) at the initial visit was 0.36 ± 0.18 (Snellen 20/45, range 20/100–20/25). All eyes showed subretinal hyperreflective fibrin on OCT images at the initial visit. Four patients (4 eyes) were lost to follow-up before fluid resolution. The mean BCVA at the final visit was logMAR 0.10 ± 0.15 (Snellen 20/25, range 20/50–20/20)). One eye in the oldest patient had persistent subretinal fluid at 26 months postpartum. The subretinal fluid resolved completely after half-dose photodynamic therapy (PDT); however, the ellipsoid zone at the fovea remained discontinuous at 30 months after half-dose PDT. The remaining six eyes all showed spontaneous resolution of subretinal fluid around delivery and regained intact ellipsoid zone. Conclusions. Pregnancy-associated CSC in Chinese developed mostly in the third trimester and usually recovered spontaneously around delivery with good final visual acuity. However, patients might require long-term follow-up until complete resolution of subretinal fluid and to detect recurrences. Half-dose PDT can be administered early if there is little reduction in the amount of subretinal fluid after delivery.

Bilateral central serous chorio-retinopathy in pregnancy presenting with severe visual loss

et al. 2014

Introduction: Bilateral central serous chorio-retinopathy is an unusual presentation. Objective: To report a case of pregnancy-induced bilateral central serous chorio-retinopathy. Case: A thirty-year-old woman complaining of reduced vision in both the eyes was referred for ophthalmoscopic evaluation in her third trimester of pregnancy. The best-corrected visual acuity was 6/60 in the right eye and finger counting at four meters in the left. The funduscopic examination revealed serous macular detachment with white sub-retinal exudates in both the eyes. Optical coherence tomography sections through the macula demonstrated serous elevation of the retina and retinal pigment epithelial detachment in both the eyes. The serous macular detachment resolved and the patient recovered to the visual acuity of 6/6 in both the eyes after twelve weeks of delivery. The OCT showed resolution of the sub-retinal fluid and disappearance of the sub-macular exudate in the right eye, but the resolution was partial in the left eye. Conclusion: Pregnancy is a risk factor for CSCR and it can present with severe bilateral visual diminution.
