Richard H. Keates, MD; Stuart L. Billig, MD

Arch Ophthalmol. 1970;84(3):381-384.

Abstract
A 19-year-old pregnant woman with weight loss and pulmonary infiltrates was found to have metastatic choriocarcinoma. A concomitant marked visual loss was associated with multiple elevated choroidal lesions in both eyes. Treatment with methotrexate resulted in clinical remission and striking improvement of vision and fundus appearance.
