| Popis: | Purpose: To describe a novel case of focal exudative retinal detachment, choroidal effusion, and acute angle closure in preeclampsia. Methods: A case report is presented. Results: A 37-year-old woman at 38 weeks gestation presented with 2 weeks of progressive blurred vision in the left eye. She had a visual acuity (VA) of 20/800 and an intraocular pressure (IOP) of 26 mm Hg in the left eye (compared with 17 mm Hg in the right eye). Examination showed subretinal fluid in the posterior pole, ciliochoroidal effusion, and angle closure in the left eye without pathology in the right eye. She was found to have hypertension and proteinuria consistent with preeclampsia. The visual symptoms resolved after delivery. At the 1-month follow-up, she had a VA of 20/60 OS, symmetric IOPs, and resolved subretinal and choroidal effusions. Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of ciliochoroidal effusion in the setting of preeclampsia. It may aid in the diagnosis of preeclampsia’s ocular manifestations and broaden pathophysiological understanding. |
