[Bilateral retinal detachment in toxemia of pregnancy].
Klinika Oczna 1999
In this article, we present two cases of bilateral retinal detachment in toxemia of pregnancy. The first case describes 31-year old patient admitted to hospital due to toxemia of pregnancy in the 38th week of the second pregnancy. Medical examination following admission showed blood pressure 180/130 mm Hg oedema of face and legs. Accessory investigations displayed proteinuria, leukocyturia, bacteriuria. At the fundus of eye the features of initial retinopatia hypertonica were discovered. On the fifth day of the patient's hospitalization because of the worsening of general health condition and sudden blood pressure increase, the pregnancy was delivered by cesarean section. Some hours after awakening the patient reported the loss of vision of both eyes. Ophthalmological examination showed the occurrence of retinal detachment. Tearing wasn't found. When the protein deficiency was supplemented and antiinflammatory and oedema--reducing treatment was administered the blood pleasure stabilized retina attached itself and visual functions returned. In the second case 22-year old patient was admitted to hospital at term of labour with blood pressure 150/90 mm Hg and a little proteinuria. On the second day of hospitalization the pregnancy was delivered through natural passages. A few hours after the delivery the patient reported indistinct vision and blurring of the image. Through ophthalmological examination retinal detachment was stated. Tearing was not found. Thanks to bed regime and resorbing treatment total retinal attachment was gained and visual functions returned. This case suggests that retinal detachment of pregnant woman does not have to be proceeded by symptoms of toxemia of pregnancy and the period of delivery may accelerate and release mechanisms damaging choriocapillaries, which causes the flow of liquid from vessels of chorioidea to subretinal space.
