Third nerve palsy and serous retinal detachment with preeclampsia.

Visual disturbances occur more frequently during preeclampsia than during pregnancy in general, but visual disturbances due to cranial nerve palsy are rare. We present the case of a 35-year-old preeclamptic woman with left third nerve palsy and left serous retinal detachment. The patient complained of visual disturbance and double vision soon after cesarean section.

Successful treatment of primary fetal hydrothorax with hydrops by pleuroamniotic shunt placement.

We treated a case of primary fetal hydrothorax with hydrops. A pleuroamniotic shunt catheter inserted at 30 weeks accomplished resolution of hydrops and was maintained until cesarean delivery at 34 weeks with no need for further prenatal intervention. At age 9 months, the infant showed no effusion or pulmonary compromise.
