Abstract:
A 28-year-old female patient presented with acute loss of visual acuity after pre-eclampsia. Funduscopy revealed minor alterations of the posterior pole of the macula. Optical coherence tomography displayed a bilateral neurosensory detachment. Fluorescence angiography showed filling defects of the choroid in both eyes. These findings were in line with choroidal ischemia following a hypertensive episode. The symptoms disappeared completely after 3 months without additional treatment. To clarify ambiguous pathologies the ophthalmologist should always initiate a comprehensive evaluation in internal medicine to find the right diagnosis and treatment.
