Dr., Kırıkkale University School of Medicine, Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Kırıkkale, Türkiye A 27-year-old multigravid patient was admitted with bilateral blurring of vision after caesarean delivery. She had history of oxytocin infusion for labor stimulation. Visual acuities were 1/10 in both eyes. Fundus examination showed bilateral serous retinal detachments affecting predominantly the posterior pole and the peripapillary area. Optical coherence tomography revealed bilateral serous retinal detachment of the macular area. Spontaneous resorption of the subretinal fluid started promptly the following day after the delivery. Large volumes of hypotonic solution with oxytocin may induce water retension during labor. This should be considered in the differential diagnosis of bilateral serous RD in pregnancy.
