Hypertensive choroidopathy and adrenal carcinoma: A new association

Abstract A 17 year-old Caucasian female presented with decreased vision, with no other symptoms reported at that time. Ophthalmological examination revealed typical signs of hypertensive choroidopathy, Elschnig spots, and Siegrist streaks. Further medical examination found high blood pressure (220/155 mmHg), with a metastatic hormone-secreting adrenal carcinoma being the underlying cause of these alterations. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of hypertensive choroidopathy associated with adrenal carcinoma.
