    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Ophthalmology
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

    Background:

    • Toxemia of pregnancy, also known as pre-eclampsia, is a serious condition characterized by high blood pressure and potential organ damage.
    • Visual disturbances, including transient amaurosis, are recognized but less common symptoms associated with hypertensive disorders in pregnancy.

    Observation:

    • Two distinct cases of transient amaurosis in pregnant patients experiencing toxemia are presented.
    • These cases highlight the varied neurological manifestations of hypertensive disorders during gestation.

    Findings:

    • Transient amaurosis in the context of toxemia of pregnancy is a rare but significant finding.
    • Literature review indicates a pattern of temporary visual impairment linked to severe pre-eclampsia.

    Implications:

    • Recognition of transient amaurosis is crucial for timely diagnosis and management of toxemia of pregnancy.
    • Prompt intervention can mitigate risks to both maternal and fetal well-being.
    • Further research into the pathophysiology of visual disturbances in pre-eclampsia is warranted.
