# Subretinal Drusenoid Deposits in a Patient With HELLP (Hemolysis, Elevated Liver Enzymes, Low Platelet) Syndrome

## TL;DR

This case report describes subretinal drusenoid deposits in a patient with HELLP syndrome, a severe form of preeclampsia, and their ocular implications.

## Contribution

The paper presents a rare case linking subretinal drusenoid deposits with HELLP syndrome and its ocular manifestations.

## Key findings

- Subretinal drusenoid deposits were observed in a patient with HELLP syndrome.
- The deposits were associated with hypertensive retinochoroidopathy.
- The case highlights the potential ocular complications of HELLP syndrome.

## Abstract

Subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDD) are findings that can be observed in age-related macular degeneration as well as in ischemic ocular diseases. These deposits are believed to be of prognostic importance, as they have been shown to be associated with choroidal neovascularization. HELLP (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelet) syndrome is a condition linked with severe preeclampsia, and it presents ocular findings such as hypertensive retinopathy, serous retinal detachment, and cortical visual impairment. This case report discusses the presence and course of SDD in a female patient who presented with hypertensive retinochoroidopathy secondary to HELLP syndrome.
