Abstract
We report a case of a 32-year-old woman who developed an antenatal Valsalva-induced retinal haemorrhage causing unilateral blindness 38 weeks into her pregnancy. Delivery was achieved by elective Caesarean section under epidural anaesthesia. The influence of anaesthetic technique on a recent retinal haemorrhage is discussed.
