Bilateral exudative retinal detachment in preeclampsia: A rare clinical entity

Preeclampsia is a serious obstetric complication which occurs in the third trimester of pregnancy. Although several ophthalmic complications have been reported in preeclampsia females, retinal detachment is one of the unusual complications which occurs in <1% of the preeclamptic females. In this case report, we have discussed a 27-year-old primiparous female with preeclampsia who developed bilateral exudative retinal detachment immediately after her delivery. A few days after delivery, there was absorption of subretinal fluid and a significant improvement in visual status. This case highlights that conservative and timely management of retinal detachment in preeclampsia can have a good prognosis.
