Abstract EN

Rise of intra-abdominal pressure during labor may result in Valsalva retinopathy.

This can cause visual loss in one or both eyes.

Conservative treatment consisting of observation is offered in most cases.

We report a case of a dense pre-macular sub-hyaloid hemorrhage in a pregnant woman.

This complication arose during the early uterine contractions of labor at Prince Rashid Bin Al-Hassan military hospital.

The management options available in such a case are discussed.
