Spectral domain optical coherence tomography-guided laser treatment of central serous chorioretinopathy in a pregnant woman

Retin Cases Brief Rep. 2015 Winter;9(1):55-8. doi: 10.1097/ICB.0000000000000080.

Abstract

Purpose: To report a case of central serous chorioretinopathy treated with focal laser photocoagulation guided by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) without fluorescein angiography.

Methods: In this interventional case report, a 27-year-old pregnant lady with central serous chorioretinopathy was evaluated with fundus photography and SD-OCT. She was treated with focal laser photocoagulation to the area of micro rip on the summit of pigment epithelial detachment identified by SD-OCT.

Results: Successful treatment of serous macular detachment using SD-OCT in a pregnant lady.

Conclusion: We report a case of central serous chorioretinopathy evaluated and treated successfully with SD-OCT without the use of fluorescein angiography.
