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 (220/155mmHg), 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.

Keywords:
Adrenal carcinoma
Elschnig spots
Hypertensive choroidopathy
Siegrist streaks
Resumen

Una paciente caucásica de 17 años de edad acudió a nuestro servicio con disminución de la visión; no asociaba otros síntomas en aquel momento. La exploración oftalmológica reveló hallazgos típicos de coroidopatía hipertensiva: manchas de Elschnig y estrías de Siegrist. El examen médico posterior reveló una tensión arterial de 220/155mm Hg y se determinó que la causa subyacente de dicho trastorno era un carcinoma adrenal metastásico secretor. Este caso representa el primero descrito en el que se asocia la coroidopatía hipertensiva al carcinoma adrenal.
