Abstract

RAMOS SUAREZ, Antonio et al. Serous retinal detachment as a first sign of severe preeclampsia. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2016, vol.29, n.3, pp. 589-595. ISSN 1561-3070.

Exudative retinal detachment is an uncommon cause of loss of visual acuity in preeclampsia. Its pathogenesis is not fully understood, but choroidal ischaemia is known to play a key role. Few cases have been reported, and most of these refer to isolated cases or short series of cases. We describe the case of a primigravida aged 34 years, in the third trimester of pregnancy, with bilateral exudative retinal detachment. The visual symptoms were the first manifestation of preeclampsia, which finally required an emergency caesarean section. The retinal detachment resolved spontaneously within two weeks of the caesarean section.

Keywords : preeclampsia; exudative retinal detachment; angiography; choroidal ischaemia.
