Utility of optical coherence tomography angiography in pregnancy-associated central serous chorioretinopathy.
Purpose
To describe a case of pregnancy-related central serous chorioretinopathy (pCSCR) and the utility of monitoring with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA).


Observations
A 34-year-old female in her third trimester of pregnancy presented with symptomatic visual disturbances of the right eye. Medical history was otherwise unremarkable. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) disclosed a serous retinal detachment with trace subretinal fibrin and elevation of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). OCT angiography (OCTA) demonstrated absence of choroidal neovascular membrane (CNV). It was decided to monitor with weekly OCTs until delivery, after which the patient had full resolution of symptoms and subretinal fluid.


Conclusions and Importance
Pregnancy-related CSCR may be complicated by fibrin deposition and RPE changes suspicious for CNV. This provides evidence of the utility of OCT for monitoring pCSCR progression and of OCTA to non-invasively assess presence of CNV.
