Abstract
Purpose: to present a clinical case of a child with hypertensive retinopathy developed against the background of undiagnosed pheochromacytoma and primarily regarded as neuroretinitis. The description of the case shows that a comprehensive examination of the child together with a pediatrician and endocrinologist allowed to identify the etiology of the pathological process and choose the right treatment strategy. Discussion. It is important to note that the alertness of the pediatric ophthalmologist in terms of the development of hypertensive retinal angiopathy is reduced. Arterial hypertension in children is much less common than in adults, and cases of hypertensive retinal lesions in children are rare. This can lead to a number of errors in the diagnosis and treatment of eye pathology, as well as underestimation of the severity of the General somatic condition of the child, in this connection it is important to emphasize the importance of close interdisciplinary cooperation in the examination and treatment of children of ophthalmic profile.
