Malignant hypertension is an uncommon cause of serous
macula detachment. We report a case of a 27-year-old gentleman
who presented with unilateral macula detachment. His blood
pressure was increased during presentation. His renal profile was
elevated suggestive of stage 5 chronic kidney disease. The
ultrasound
confirmed renal parenchymal disease with
hydronephrosis. His blood pressure was stabilized and macula
detachment resolved. Early diagnosis and treatment is mandatory.
It is essential to highlight this alarming presentation in a young
adult as it is an indicator of the ophthalmologic morbidity
associated with systemic disease. The outcome is good if treated
successfully.
