Abstract Purpose:To report a case of pheochromocytoma associated with angiospastic hypertensive retinopathy.

Case:A 47-year-old woman was referred to us for pathological findings in the fundus. She had noticed visual failure in both eyes since 10 days before. She had not consulted a physician before.

Findings and Clinical Course:Corrected visual acuity was 0.9 right and 0.5 left. Both eyes showed signs of hypertensive retinopathy including narrowing of arteries, dilated veins, hard and soft exudates, hemorrhagic patches, and Elschnig spots. She was diagnosed with angiospastic hypertensive retinopathy secondary to systemic malignant hypertension. Further studies led to the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma in the left adrenal gland. After surgical removal of the tumor and medical treatment, the blood pressure stabilized at about 120/90 mmHg. The fundus findings became almost normal with visual acuity of 1.0 or better in either eye.

Conclusion:This case illustrates that pheochromocytoma may be associated with angiospastic hypertensive retinopathy. Fundus findings may improve following successful treatment of pheochromocytoma.
