In accelerated hypertension (malignant – acute, hypertensive crisis), as in Toxemia of Pregnancy, Essential HPN, Renal Disease, Tumors, Connective Tissue Disorders
• Acute phase: yellow spots at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium
• Pathology: fibrinoid necrosis of choriocapillaris, with damage to RPE / intense plasma leakage can cause exudative retinal detachment / later, lesions scar with pigment or depigmentation.
This complication only happens on acute accelerated hypertension, toxemia of pregnancy na mag cause ng exudative retinal detachment.
HYPERTENSIVE CHOROIDOPATHY
May be a direct ischemic episode of the optic nerve : Ischemic Neuropathy
• Upon resolution, many develop optic atrophy
HYPERTENSIVE OPTIC NEUROPATHY
there is intact eye movement but
there is no vision. Normal and MRI, yun pala may stroke sa occipital cortex
Cortical blindness
Remember that you will only see the cherry red spot in 2 instances
one is in central retinal artery occlusion, second is the tay sachs disease
