Among the pathologic findings affecting the eye during pregnancy, microvascular abnormalities affecting both choroidal and retinal circulation have been reported in cases of complicated pregnancy. We report a case of papillophlebitis and arteriolar occlusion in a pregnant woman without any complications throughout her pregnancy. The patient was placed on glucocorticoids and her vision, visual fields and funduscopic appearance improved almost to normal. Despite the improvement with treatment, the contributing role of glucocorticoids in this case could not be fully determined. Papillophlebitis and arteriolar occlusion should be included among gestational-related vasculopathies.
