Abstract 

To study the fundus changes in pregnancy induced hypertension and its relationship with various parameters of foetus. Pregnancy induced hypertension can be defined as blood pressure > or = 140/90mmhg after 20 weeks of pregnancy. It occurs in approximately 5% of pregnant females. Aim and Objectives: To assess fundus changes in pregnancy induced hypertension and its relationship with various foetal parameters. To study spectrum of fundus changes in pregnancy induced hypertension. To assess the prevalence of retinal changes with regards to severity of pregnancy induced hypertension. To observe relationship of fundus changes with various foetal parameters. Ocular involvement ranges from mild blurring of vision to complete blindness due to retinal detachment and visual cortex ischemia. Presenting the study of 250 cases with PIH and 250 controls showing the need for fundoscopy not only to rule out compromised vision in mother but also to keep a check on different foetal parameters as low birth weight.

Keywords: PIH, fundus.
