“…It has also been said that the eye diseases that are the most common indications of CS are myopia, retinopathy, and glaucoma. A review of the articles shows no consensus about planning the delivery method based on eye diseases (20). A recent meta-analysis showed that the vertical transmission rate of human papillomavirus (HPV) in CS is lower than in vaginal delivery.…”

“…Currently, 6 -17% of all births occurring through CS worldwide are based on the mother's request (11). Moreover, 17% of indications for CS are due to non-obstetric reasons (20). The most common non-obstetric causes of CS between 1950 -2017 include cardiovascular and eye diseases (e.g., myopia, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma), blood diseases, rheumatology, psychological diseases (e.g., tokophobia), neurological diseases, orthopedic diseases (e.g., herniated disk), and infectious diseases (e.g., genital warts).…”

Background: Despite the implementation of the Health Transformation Plan in recent years, the cesarean section (CS) rate has increased in private and public centers in Iran. Accordingly, Iran is the first among the four countries in the world with the highest CS rate. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the non-obstetric causes of CS in mothers who were referred to the Medical Services Commission of Alborz province, Iran, to review their requests for CS. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 312 subjects were selected based on a census of all clients by the Midwifery Office of Alborz province, whose requests for CS for non-obstetric reasons were submitted to the Medical Services Commission in 2020. The information in this study was collected using a researcher-made questionnaire containing 26 items in two sociodemographic and medical sections. Results: The highest frequency of sociodemographic factors was observed for the age range of 20 - 30 years (n = 163, 52.2%), the educational level of diploma and higher (n = 236, 75.6%), urban residence (n = 274, 87.8%), and no complementary insurance (n = 258, 82.7%). The frequency distribution of the non-obstetric reasons of the participants was reported as 83 (26.6%), 60 (19.2%), 25 (8%), 24 (7.7%), 20 (6.4%), 14 (4.5%), and 86 (27.6%) for lumbar disc disease, eye diseases, repeat CS, genital warts, in vitro fertilization, fear of childbirth pain, and other causes, respectively. There was a significant association between the reason for requesting CS and the age group (P < 0.001), the type of insurance (P = 0.043), and the mother’s educational level (P < 0.001). Conclusions: In the present study, most of the women in the younger age group and non-employees requested a CS for non-obstetric reasons.

A highly myopic 35-year-old female patient (P0, G1) with reduced visual acuity R 3/10 l 3/10 due to bilateral choroidal neovascularization (CNV) admitted at our Department. The patient had atomic history of congenital myopia firstly diagnosed at the age of 2-y-old. The initial diagnosis established a refractive error over 8 diopters (high grade myopia) progressively increased. During third trimester of gestation her vision was acutely diminished. The fundoscopic examination depicted elevated intraocular pressure and deterioration of myopia to -30D bilaterally. (Fruoresceinangiography revealed active CNV). Patient underwent selected caesarean section due to increased risk of macular hemorrhage. She discharged from hospital the 4th pod in good clinical condition. Assiduous ocular and obstetrical monitoring appeared mandatory in order to insure optimal therapeutic mapping. Objective of our study remains proper diagnosis and treatment of such a rare case.
