Electroophthalmological and fluorescein angiographic studies were performed on a 13 year old girl with exsudative detachment of the retina during a hypertensive crisis. The ERG showed a significant reduction during the course of the detachment. After healing the ERG values had improved as compared to those values recorded during the acute illness, but never reached normal levels. The lesions of the retina and the pigment epithelium caused by the detachment were responsible for pathological EOG. The fluorescein angiography showed circumscript and conglomerate lesions in the pigment epithelium.
