Abstract:
A 12-year-old female patient was admitted to our clinic complaining about low vision. Bilateral optic disc edema, macular star, and preretinal hemorrhages were found in fundoscopic examination. In fundus fluorescein angiography, massive leakage in the late phase was seen in the optic nerve head and macular area. These findings were compatible with high-grade hypertensive retinopathy. The patient consulted with pediatrics and a diagnosis of vesicourethral reflux and malignant hypertension was made.
