Abstract

Purpose: To study the fundus changes in Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH). Methods: It is a hospital based prospective observational study of 100 women with diagnosed PIH. Fundus was examined by direct and indirect ophthalmoscope at bedside. Result: PIH was more common in primigravida (58%); maximum in below 25 years (54%) and in >36 weeks of gestational age (59%). Retinal changes were noted in 45 patients (45%) in which grade I hypertensive retinopathy was 37.7% and grade IV was 24.44%.  Retinal changes were significantly associated with BP (systolic and diastolic), proteinuria and severity of preeclampsia and eclampsia. Most of the changes in the fundus resolved within one week of delivery. Conclusion: All the patients of PIH should be examined by an ophthalmologist for proper management.
