Purpose: To report a case of pregnancy-related papillophlebitis in a woman with an uncomplicated pregnancy and no identifiable coagulation defect.
Methods: Clinical evaluation and fundus photography.
Results: Spontaneous recovery occurred post-delivery without treatment.
Conclusions: Venous thromboembolic events of the eye are a rare complication of pregnancy unless associated with toxemia. This case report of a pregnant patient with papillophlebitis indicates that the natural clinical course of this condition is one of spontaneous resolution and treatment is therefore unnecessary.
