title: [Cesarean, result of an exploration of a loss of visual acuity].
abstract: Toxaemia of pregnancy associating hypertension and proteinuria can cause maternal and ocular complications. Maternal ocular involvement is classically described with loss of visual acuity due to serous retinal detachment. We report a case of a 31 year old woman who just complained of severe deterioration of visual acuity. During her stay at the hospital we discovered a pregnancy complicated by a HELLP syndrome. Resturation of vision has been obtained after fetal expulsion and medical treatment against hypertension.
