Abstract

Valsalva retinopathy (VR) is a retinopathy characterized by pre-retinal hemorrhage secondary to raised intrathoracic pressure. It usually heals spontaneously over a period of weeks to months. But in some cases, it requires clinical intervention. We report the case of a spontaneous resolution of a valsalva retinopathy in a young pregnant woman after her labour.
