Prenatal imaging revealed fetal bilateral pleural effusion, suggestive of chylothorax. The neonate developed respiratory distress and purpura fulminans after birth. The absence of the red reflex in the right eye prompted a detailed ophthalmologic examination using a portable slit lamp and an indirect ophthalmoscope. The right eye revealed an ectatic pupil with posterior synechia extending from approximately 6 o'clock to 9 o'clock. Fundus examination of both eyes revealed funnel retinal detachment with multiple chronic features. A small amount of retina was draped between 4 and 7 o'clock, which may have been attached. Further ophthalmologic investigation under anesthesia, using B-scan ultrasonography and intravenous fluorescein angiography, confirmed bilateral retinal detachment. Genetic investigations revealed a\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">PAK2<\/jats:italic>\n                      c.1115A&gt;T, p.(Asp372Val) variant.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In addition to presenting our case report, we reviewed other recent case reports similar to ours. Retinal detachment and bilateral pleural effusions in neonates with Knobloch syndrome have been recently reported, but without purpura fulminans. Retinal detachment in neonates can result from both congenital and acquired conditions, and requires a thoughtful approach to establish the diagnosis and provide future counseling.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Bilateral retinal detachment, chylothorax, and purpura fulminans in a neonate with a PAK2 genetic variant is uncommon.
