Abstract

Background: Management of labor and indications for abortion in ophthalmologic diseases are discussed controversially in literature. Overtreatment is still frequent. In diseases like pseudotumor cerebri, high myopia, retinal detachment, retinopathy in EPH-gestosis, uveal melanoma and diabetic retinopathy, the question for optimal management of labor or interruption rises mainly from gynaecologists.

Methods: In this review these conditions will be discussed with the literature--obtained by a medline-research.

Conclusions: In the ophthalmologist's point of view--there are no indications for interruption or section caesarean in patients with above mentioned ophthalmologic diseases.
