Optical coherence tomography images for case 3. (a), (c), (e), (g) Scans of the right eye. (b), (d), (f), (h), (i), (j) Scans of the left eye. (a, b) Images obtained at the initial visit (gestational week 31) showing subretinal fluid and subretinal hyperreflective fibrin at the sites of retinal pigment epithelium irregularity. (c, d) Images obtained 112 days later (49 days postpartum) showing complete resolution of subretinal fluid and a discontinuous ellipsoid zone in the right eye (c) and reduced but persistent subretinal fluid at the fovea in the left eye (d). (e, f) Images obtained 95 days later (144 days postpartum) showing an intact ellipsoid zone at the fovea in the right eye (e) and persistent subretinal fluid at the fovea in the left eye (f). (g, h) Images obtained 15 months later (20 months postpartum) showing an intact ellipsoid zone at the fovea in the right eye (g) and slightly increased subretinal fluid at the fovea in the left eye (h). (i) An image obtained 5 months later (25 months postpartum) showing significantly increased subretinal fluid at the fovea in the left eye. After a month’s consideration, the patient finally agreed to administration of half-dose photodynamic therapy (26 months postpartum) and was then lost to follow-up for a further 30 months. (j) An image obtained 30 months after half-dose PDT (56 months postpartum) showing complete resolution of subretinal fluid at the fovea in the left eye but persistence of discontinuity of the ellipsoid zone at the fovea.
