Serous retinal detachment is an uncommon complication of pregnancy that occurs in well-known situations, such as severe preeclampsia, eclampsia, or hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count (HELLP) syndrome. The latter still does not reach a consensus, in particular on its classification and pathophysiology. We report the case of a young pregnant woman having a partial HELLP syndrome with massive proteinuria who presented a bilateral exudative retinal detachment having healed spontaneously after pregnancy termination and blood pressure control without requiring an ophthalmologic intervention.

Nephrotic Syndrome I : Introduction

Nephrotic Syndrome is a chronic kidney disorder defined by clinical findings such as severe proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, and edema. These symptoms result from damage to the glomeruli, the kidney’s filtering units, increasing their permeability to proteins.Definition and Meaning:Proteinuria, defined as the loss of more than 3.5 grams of protein per day in adults, is a crucial feature of nephrotic syndrome. This condition is often accompanied by edema, the accumulation of...

Teratogenicity01:07

Teratogenicity

The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...
