Bilateral serous retinal detachment complicating preeclampsia

Bilateral Serous Retinal Detachment in Pregnancy

“…Our case demonstrates a similar result to the case reported by Somfai et al who reported three preeclamptic ladies who developed serous retinal detachment of the macula after delivery in which the retinal findings were completely regressed within four to six weeks [11]. There are many cases of serous retinal detachment that have been reported in the literature [2,10,[12][13][14][15][16][17]. In each of the cases, the serous retinal detachment spontaneously resolved (Table 1).…”

The evaluation of the retinal findings in the fundoscopic examination of the preeclampsia patients

“…The loss vision caused by the cortex part of optical paths can be seen rarely in preeclampsia cases. [28] Ischemia, edema and hemorrhage are among the reasons of cortical loss of vision, and they are usually irreversible. Permanent damage at legal blindness level may develop in 1-3% of the patients with preeclampsia/eclampsia.…”

Preeclamptic serous retinal detachment without hypertension: A case report

“…In a review of the literature, we identified 43 case reports and case series documenting serous retinal detachment during pregnancy. Our review included 97 women diagnosed with preeclampsia with a median gestational age at presentation of 31.9 weeks (range 20–40 weeks) [ 5 , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] , [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] , [21] , [22] , [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] , [29] , [30] , [31] , [32] , [33] , [34] , [35] , [36] , [37] , [38] , [39] , [40] , [41] , [42] , [43] , [44] , [45] , [46] ]. Of cases with blood pressure data reported (90 of 97), only one patient was normotensive.…”
