| Summary: |
Aim:
Pheochromocytoma is a tumor secreting katecholamins, it
occurs in different age, rarely in children. The
disorder coexists with malignant arterial hypertension.
We present a case of patient with ophthalmic alterations
in the course of pheochromocytoma.
Material and methods: In 12-year old boy operated
on pheochromocytoma full ophthalmic examination,
fluorescent angiography and ERG were performed.
Results: We found decreased visual acuity,
hypertensive retinopathy and the scotopic and fotopic
ERG alterations.
Conclusions: Hypertensive retinopathy in the
course of pheochromocytoma could be the first symptom of
the disease, especially in children. The earlier this
disorder is diagnosed and operated on, the better is the
prognosis for health and regression of retinal findings. |
