Abstract

Purpose: To present a case of frosted branch angiitis in a pregnant woman.

Methods: A 27-week pregnant 18-year-old woman was presented with bilateral decreased visual acuity. Fundoscopy showed typical appearance of frosted branch angiitis.

Results: A good spontaneous clinical improvement was observed during systemic evaluation. No treatment was started.

Conclusion: Frosted branch angiitis may be seen during pregnancy, without any associated underlying disease, and can be resolved without any intervention. The treatment may not be necessary for some cases.
