Krishna Nagaradh, Prarthana Gokarn

We report a 29 year old female gravid 1 with 28 weeks of gestation was referred by her obstetrician for blurred vision in her left eye from the past 3 days. On examination patient manifested a facial hemangioma over left face and lid. Fundus examination of left eye revealed a choroidal hemangioma which increased in size during the course of pregnancy. No intervention was done and the tumour regressed completely after pregnancy. Observation alone may be indicated in cases of choroidal hemangioma demonstrating sub-retinal fluid in pregnancy. Circumscribed choroidal hemangioma can manifest in Sturge-Weber syndrome rather typically found diffuse type.
