BILATERAL SEROUS RETINAL DETACHMENTS IN A PATIENT WITH PREECLAMPSIA WITHOUT HYPERTENSION

To report a case of bilateral serous retinal detachments in a patient with preeclampsia without hypertension using multimodal ophthalmic imaging.

Case report.

This case demonstrates the rare presentation of bilateral serous retinal detachment in a patient with preeclampsia without hypertension. Characteristic subretinal fluid was seen on examination and optical coherence tomography. No leakage was noted on fluorescein angiography. Treatment was deferred, and the subretinal fluid resolved within 3 weeks.

Practitioners should be aware of the rare presentation of serous retinal detachments in preeclampsia, even in the absence of hypertension. Long-term sequelae are uncommon and usually only seen in severe disease. Delivery should be considered once serous retinal detachment develops.
