Abstract
A highly myopic 35-year-old female patient (P0, G1) with reduced visual acuity R 3/10 l 3/10 due to bilateral choroidal neovascularization (CNV) admitted at our Department. The patient had atomic history of congenital myopia firstly diagnosed at the age of 2-y-old. The initial diagnosis established a refractive error over 8 diopters (high grade myopia) progressively increased. During third trimester of gestation her vision was acutely diminished. The fundoscopic examination depicted elevated intraocular pressure and deterioration of myopia to -30D bilaterally. (Fruoresceinangiography revealed active CNV). Patient underwent selected caesarean section due to increased risk of macular hemorrhage. She discharged from hospital the 4th pod in good clinical condition. Assiduous ocular and obstetrical monitoring appeared mandatory in order to insure optimal therapeutic mapping. Objective of our study remains proper diagnosis and treatment of such a rare case.
