description A 10-year-old male presented with sudden-onset diminution of vision in both eyes. On systemic examination, he had severe hypertension, no pulse deficit, short stature, and no other focal neurological deficit. Dilated fundoscopy showed bilateral grade 4 hypertensive retinopathy with macular star formation. Detailed laboratory investigations revealed a stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD). We present this case to highlight this rare ocular manifestation of CKD in pediatric age group.
