Abstract
We report the case of a 21-year-old male patient admitted emergently with progressive bilateral severe visual loss for 1Â month. Posterior segment examination revealed bilateral stellate neuroretinitis. Infectious serologies were negative, and brain CT was normal. Physical examination was remarkable for malignant hypertension of 220/150Â mmHg. Diagnostic work-up revealed a pheochromocytoma documented by histopathological exam upon adrenalectomy. The disc edema and macular exudates resolved once the hypertension was controlled.
