Reversible hypertensive retinopathy in a child with bilateral pheochromocytoma after tumor resection.
Pheochromocytoma is very rare in children. We report a case of bilateral pheochromocytoma in a 12-year-old boy who had blurred vision due to hypertensive retinopathy. Abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography revealed bilateral suprarenal tumors. Resection of the bilateral tumors along with right total and left subtotal adrenalectomy were performed. Blood pressure and visual acuity returned to normal after surgery.
