Retinal detachment in association with preeclampsia and abruptio placentae.
Retinal detachment is a rare complication of preeclampsia, eclampsia and abruptio placentae. We report a case of bilateral retinal detachment in association with severe preeclampsia complicated with abruptio placentae, intrauterine fetal death and disseminated intravascular coagulation. In obstetric complications, placental thromboplastin may release into maternal circulation and activate the extrinsic coagulation system with resultant disseminated intravascular coagulation. This may be responsible for choroidal ischemia and consequent serous retinal detachment.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialAbu Dhabi third stage trial: oxytocin versus Syntometrine in the active management of the third stage of labour.
To compare the effect of oxytocin and Syntometrine when used as part of active management of third stage of labour on postpartum haemorrhage, hypertension, nausea/vomiting and retained placenta. ⋯ Prophylactic administration of oxytocin 10 U in the third stage of labour, as part of active management, reduces the incidence of maternal nausea, vomiting, headache and rise in blood pressure than does Syntometrine 1 ml without adversely affecting the rate of post partum haemorrhage.
