title: Central serous choroidopathy in pregnancy.
abstract: Central serous choroidopathy is a spontaneous serous detachment of the sensory retina, usually affecting adults between 20 to 50 years of age but is also found in patients older than 60 years of age. This disease usually affects males with a male to female ratio of 8-10 to 1. Many aetiological or associated factors have been described. Here we report a 39-year-old pregnant lady presented with left central serous chorioretinopathy preceded by an unusual emotional disturbance. She was not given any photocoagulative treatment to avoid possible photocoagulative complications. Post delivery, she presented with resolution of the CSC.
