ABSTRACT

Management of labor and indications for abortion in patients with ophthalmologic diseases are discussed controversially in literature and are often overemphasized. We present a case of a pregnant woman with bilateral papilledema due to pseudotumor cerebri, because an abortion was in question. This case lead us to discuss indications for abortions in patients with pseudotumor cerebri, as well as indications for abortions or cesarean sections in patients with high myopia, retinal detachment, retinopathy in EPH-gestosis, uveal melanoma and diabetic retinopathy. In this article these questions will be discussed.
