hypertensive retinopathy/edema

UNASSIGNED To describe a case of a patient who presented with hypertensive retinopathy and was found to have neuroblastoma. UNASSIGNED Neuroblastoma has three main ocular presentations. As a primary disease, it can present with a paraneoplastic syndrome in the form of opsoclonus, or it can present

Bilateral disk swelling and marked peripapillary and macular exudates were found on routine ophthalmologic examination in a 12 1/2-year-old girl. Eleven months later, with persistent findings, her blood pressure was found to be extremely elevated. She had an Ask-Upmark kidney, a rare form of

Retinal hemorrhages can be associated with typical cystoid macular edema. We examined the fundus photographs and fluorescein angiograms of 313 eyes of 264 patients with documented cystoid macular edema to establish the incidence and characteristics of associated intraretinal hemorrhages. As we

Acute arterial hypertension causes 3 types of fundus anomalies: hypertensive retinopathy, hypertensive choroidopathy and hypertensive optic neuropathy. Hypertensive retinopathy and optic neuropathy are characterised by retinal and optic disc capillary and precapillary occlusions, and a rupture of

OBJECTIVE Malignant hypertensive retinopathy is a rare, but serious, complication of uncontrolled systemic hypertension for which no treatment has been established yet. We report 2 patients with malignant hypertensive retinopathy who recovered promptly following intravitreal bevacizumab

BACKGROUND We present a case of severe bilateral hypertensive retinopathy and optic neuropathy due to pheochromocytoma. METHODS A 31-year-old woman presented with severe bilateral visual acuity loss associated with headaches and photophobia. Ophthalmoscopy showed bilateral optic disc edema, soft

OBJECTIVE There is scarce data regarding the incidence and clinical features of hypertensive retinopathy in children. The authors studied a large British cohort of severely hypertensive children to ascertain who developed hypertensive retinopathy, the severity, and the visual prognosis. METHODS A

In 1898 Marcus Gunn described the changes in retinal vessels noted with hypertension. Arteriolar narrowing, caliber irregularity, alterations of the light reflex, and hiding of the arterial blood column were noted. Arteriovenous crossing changes and capillary bed abnormalities, such as cotton-wool

Signs of hypertensive retinopathy are common and are correlated with elevated blood pressure. Patients who have swelling of both optic discs and very high blood pressure (i.e., malignant retinopathy) need urgent antihypertensive treatment. A patient was reported with malignant hypertensive

OBJECTIVE The prevalence of retinal vascular abnormalities in children is shown to be similar to that in adults. Swelling of the optic disk in children may have different etiologies. The differential diagnosis necessitates an interdisciplinary workup. METHODS This study presents a case of bilateral

Point-of-care ocular ultrasonography is emerging as a powerful tool to evaluate emergency department (ED) patients at risk for ophthalmologic and intracranial pathology.We present cases of 3 patients in whom optic disc swelling was identified using ocular ultrasound. Causes for optic disc swelling

A 7-year-old girl was referred for ophthalmological examination after the result of a routine school vision screening identified unilateral vision loss. Fundus examination showed bilateral but markedly asymmetric macular exudates and optic disk edema. After the results of two blood pressure

In patients with diabetic nephropathy retinopathy is always present and proliferative retinopathy is common. Retinopathy tends to deteriorate as renal failure develops particularly in patients with poorly controlled blood pressure and in patients in whom no retinal treatment has been given before

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is associated with various clinicopathological conditions, including hypertension. We report here a case of secondary FSGS associated with malignant hypertension. A 33-year-old man with a 1-month history of visual impairment and headache visited the
