Bilateral papillary oedema - case report.
Romanian Journal of Ophthalmology 2018 April
OBJECTIVE: We report one case of malignant high blood pressure with no systemic signs but with ocular complaints.
METHODS: The paper presents the case of a 31-year-old male who complained of sudden loss of visual acuity in both eyes. The ophthalmological examination revealed bilateral papillary oedema. General and cardiological examinations revealed he was suffering from malignant high blood pressure.
RESULTS: The pathogenic treatment resulted in resolution of signs and symptoms with favourable ophthalmological evolution and almost entirely functional recovery. Clinical, paraclinical and imagistic data suggested the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma.
CONCLUSION: This case highlighted ocular complications of high blood pressure. The paper summarizes the differential diagnosis and management of high blood pressure and reviews the most common causes of secondary hypertension in young patients.
