[online]. 2023, vol.91, n.3, pp.190-196. Epub May 19, 2023. ISSN 0300-9041. https://doi.org/10.24245/gom.v91i3.7584.

A 26-year-old primigravida patient, 36 weeks pregnant, with hypertensive disorder, HELLP syndrome type, complicated by bilateral serous retinal detachment that resolved spontaneously.
