Unilateral Serous Macular Detachment in a Young Hypertensive Patient

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.
