The objective of this work was to present two unusual cases of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) and the chosen therapeutic method. In this article, two cases of CSC in pregnant patients were described. The first case was a 35-year-old patient in the 16th week of pregnancy and the second one was a 26-year-old patient in the 20th week of pregnancy. Due to the contraindications associated to pregnancy, the therapeutic method chosen was subthreshold micropulse laser photocoagulation. The functional and anatomical evolution was very good in both patients. In both cases, treatment of the disease was preferred to prevent important photoreceptor losses. After the treatment, very good anatomical and functional results were obtained. The micropulse laser is an effective solution for treating CSC. It is the only safe therapeutic solution during pregnancy. CSC can be associated with pregnancy, without necessarily suggesting pre-eclampsia. CSC = central serous chorioretinopathy, SRF = subretinal fluid.
