Description | Background : Choroidal hemorrhage is usually seen as expulsive hemorrhage related to surgical invasion and is rarely observed in the absence of surgery or trauma. In this report, we describe a case of choroidal hemorrhage caused by hypertension related to chronic renal failure. Case : A 32-year-old man presented with sudden visual loss, eye pain and swelling in his left eye. He had a history of renal failure and hypertension. Eye examination demonstrated choroidal hemorrhage associated with ocular hypertension in his left eye and marked hypertensive retinopathy in his right eye. Observations : He was treated with hemodialysis and antihypertensive drugs. Upon repeat eye examinations, a gradual reabsorption of the choroidal hemorrhage was observed, although vitreous hemorrhage appeared in the left eye. The vitreous hemorrhage was treated with vitrectomy with the patient regaining good visual acuity post-surgery. Conclusions : This rare case suggests that patients with severe background disease need to be carefully observed.
