abstract: A 36-year-old preeclamptic woman presented with bilateral visual loss upon recovery from anesthesia following cesarean section. Visual acuity was hand motion OU. Pupillary responses to light were normal, without a relative afferent pupillary defect. Treatment consisted of control of blood pressure and the patient's vision improved to 20/25 OU within 3 days.
