This is a case report of 29 years old primigravida with eclampsia and HELLP syndrome (Hypertension, elevated liver enzymes and low platelets) presented with bilateral serous retinal detachment in the puerperium stage in the absence of preexisting hypertensive retinopathy. Under conservative management, bilateral retinal detachment resolved subsequently with good visual improvement.
