Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We report optical coherence tomography-3 (OCT-3) of retinal disorders in acute preeclampsia. A 33-year-old woman developed mind hypertension (170/90 mm Hg) and proteinuria in the 28th week of pregnancy. The patient complained of sudden and severe visual acuity decrease. Fundus exam showed bilateral serous retinal detachment at the macula area. OCT-3 exam demonstrated subretinal and intraretinal fluid. Bilateral serous retinal detachment is an unusual finding of preeclampsia of unknown aetiology. Intense arteriolar vasospasm has been implicated in the pathogenesis of the serous retinal detachment. OCT-3 showed the presence of both subretinal and intraretinal fluid during the acute phase of preeclampsia.
