Purpose. We report a case of hypertensive choroidopathy with bilateral serous retinal detachments.Patient. A 50-year-old man underwent bilateral serous retinal detachments. Retinal arteriolar narrowing, vascular tortuosity, and arteriovenous nicking were identified in both eyes. The blood pressure was 206/125 mmHg. The patient was diagnosed with bilateral hypertensive choroidopathy and treated with oral antihypertensive treatment.Results and discussion. One month after antihypertensive treatment, the serous retinal detachments resolved and the visual acuity improved. A patient with those findings should be considered as having hypertensive choroidopathy and treated as soon as possible.

Central blood pressure relates more strongly to retinal arteriolar narrowing than brachial blood pressure

Blind Comparison

1. Thirty moderately severely hypertensive patients were studied in a double-blind comparison of minoxidil and hydrallazine in combination with frusemide and propranolol. 2. Blood pressure control in both groups of patients was satisfactory but long-term control appeared to be better in the minoxidil group. 3. Renal function was well preserved in both groups. Evidence of cardiac hypertrophy was slow to resolve despite good control of blood pressure. Side effects were negligible, and patient acceptance and rehabilitation was excellent.

Long Term Studies

The importance of hypertension has been recognized from the complications it produces in adults, mainly stroke, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, and renal failure.1-10 Similar health consequences have been reported in a few children with severe hypertension. As a result of these health concerns, children's health care providers have been encouraged to determine and record blood pressures of their young patients. It has become customary to consider hypertension in adults in terms of an empirically designated diastolic blood pressure. Is this practice valid? Should this practice be applied to children? Unfortunately, these questions cannot be answered in reference to children, because there have been no long-term studies relating height of blood pressure to vascular sequelae in children.
