RESUMEN

We report the case of a 21-year-old male patient admitted emergently with progressive bilateral severe visual loss for 1 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 220/150 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.
