Changes in Subfoveal Choroidal Thickness During Pregnancy and After Delivery.
Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers & Imaging Retina 2017 October 2
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: This study was performed to investigate longitudinal changes in the subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) during pregnancy and after delivery.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: The SFCT was measured in the first and third trimesters, shortly after delivery, and 1 month after delivery in 25 eyes of 25 women. Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography was used for measurement.
RESULTS: The mean SFCT was 347 μm ± 86 μm, 329 μm ± 81 μm, 333 μm ± 81 μm, and 330 μm ± 87 μm in the first and third trimesters, shortly after delivery, and 1 month after delivery, respectively. The SFCT in the first trimester was significantly greater than that in the third trimester, shortly after delivery, and 1 month after delivery.
CONCLUSIONS: This study indicates that the SFCT is greater in the first trimester and decreases in the third trimester of pregnancy. The SFCT does not subsequently change until 1 month after delivery. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2017;48:816-821.].
