ABSTRACT
Exudative retinal detachment is an uncommon cause of loss of visual acuity in
preeclampsia. Its pathogenesis is not fully understood, but choroidal ischaemia is
known to play a key role. Few cases have been reported, and most of these refer to
isolated cases or short series of cases. We describe the case of a primigravida aged
34 years, in the third trimester of pregnancy, with bilateral exudative retinal
detachment. The visual symptoms were the first manifestation of preeclampsia, which
finally required an emergency caesarean section. The retinal detachment resolved
spontaneously within two weeks of the caesarean section.
