Three months postpartum, there was full spontaneous resolution of the subretinal fluid and improvement in the visual acuity (VA). A 29-year-old, 31-week pregnant female with a coagulation disorder and enoxaparin (clexane) treatment, complained of a left visual disturbance of 2 weeks duration. On examination, the right eye was normal; left eye VA was 6\/12 (20\/40) with a left eyelid port-wine stain and on funduscopic examination there was a serous retinal detachment. On ultrasound, there was diffuse thickening of the choroid with a focus superior and nasal to the disc with active vascularization \u2013 a diagnosis of diffuse CH was made. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MR venography studies of the brain and orbit revealed engorged orbital vasculature, and the diagnosis of SWS was made. Three months after Cesarean section with birth of a healthy baby boy, VA returned to 6\/9 with full resorption of subretinal fluid. On fundoscopic exam, there were no retinal or vein occlutions but there were tortuous blood vessels with A-V crossing. This is a rare case of newly diagnosed SWS with symptomatic diffuse CH in pregnancy. Postpartum, there was full resolution of the subretinal fluid. A watchful waiting approach can be considered in such cases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/ojo.ojo_28_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,24]],"date-time":"2024-05-24T13:54:21Z","timestamp":1716558861000},"page":"548-551","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Diffuse choroidal hemangioma in pregnancy: Symptomatic diffuse choroidal hemangioma spontaneously resolving postpartum"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Aleza A.","family":"Andron","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Shmuel Bayit, Jerusalem, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ido Didi","family":"Fabian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sheba Medical Center, Derech Sheba, Ramat Gan, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vicktoria","family":"Vishnevskia-Dai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sheba Medical Center, Derech Sheba, Ramat Gan, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1965","DOI":"10.4103\/ijo.IJO_2036_19","article-title":"Circumscribed choroidal hemangioma: An overview of clinical manifestation, diagnosis and management","volume":"67","author":"Sen","year":"2019","journal-title":"Indian J Ophthalmol"},{"key":"R2-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"375","DOI":"10.1080\/13816810.2021.1910963","article-title":"Current concepts on diffuse choroidal hemangioma in sturge weber syndrome","volume":"42","author":"Formisano","year":"2021","journal-title":"Ophthalmic Genet"},{"key":"R3-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1994","DOI":"10.1097\/IAE.0000000000003041","article-title":"Diagnostic and therapeutic challenges","volume":"41","author":"Nagaradh","year":"2021","journal-title":"Retina"},{"key":"R4-20240908","first-page":"862","article-title":"Choroidal hemangiomas with exudative retinal detachments during pregnancy","volume":"120","author":"Cohen","year":"2002","journal-title":"Arch Ophthalmol"},{"key":"R5-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"7","DOI":"10.1097\/ICB.0000000000000274","article-title":"Spontaneous regression of serous retinal detachment associated with circumscribed choroidal hemangioma after childbirth","volume":"11","author":"Sayman Muslubas","year":"2017","journal-title":"Retin Cases Brief Rep"},{"key":"R6-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"780","DOI":"10.4103\/ijo.IJO_2826_21","article-title":"Choroidal hemangioma in pregnancy and post-partum: A case report","volume":"2","author":"Andron","year":"2022","journal-title":"Indian J Ophthalmol Case Rep"}],"container-title":["Oman Journal of Ophthalmology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/ojo.ojo_28_23","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,26]],"date-time":"2026-08-26T18:47:09Z","timestamp":1787770029000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/ojo.ojo_28_23"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,9]]},"references-count":6,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2023]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/ojo.ojo_28_23","relation":{},"ISSN":["0974-620X","0974-7842"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0974-620X","type":"print"},{"value":"0974-7842","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,9]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2023-02-08","name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2023-07-14","name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
