PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to describe a patient with an untreated rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, first diagnosed during pregnancy, that underwent spontaneous resolution after normal labor and childbirth. METHODS Descriptive case report. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION It has been extensively documented that normal labor and childbirth are safe in the context of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Although exudative retinal detachment is a well-known complication of preeclampsia, spontaneous reattachment of a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is a rare phenomenon. In this case, labor-induced physiologic changes may have contributed to the resolution of the detachment. |
