Can J Ophthalmol. 2008 Oct;43(5):588-90. doi: 10.3129/i08-097.

Abstract

Background: Pregnancy is a well-known risk factor for central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR).

Methods: Patients were examined using slit-lamp biomicroscopy, fundus examination, fundus photography, and optical coherence tomography, making note of best-corrected visual acuity.

Results: All patients had resolution of CSCR.

Interpretation: We present CSCR in 3 consecutive pregnant women without subretinal exudates.
