Visual disturbances during pregnancy caused by central serous choroidopathy.

Abstract
Three patients had visual disturbances during pregnancy caused by central serous choriodopathy. One of them had a central scotoma in her 1st and 2nd pregnancy. The other 2 patients had a central scotoma in their 1st pregnancy. Symptoms disappeared spontaneously after delivery. Except for the ocular abnormalities the pregnancies were without complications. The complaints can be misinterpreted as pregnancy-related optic neuritis or compressive optic neuropathy, but careful biomicroscopy of the ocular fundus should avoid superfluous diagnostic and therapeutic measures.
