RESUMO Os autores apresentam um caso raro de neovascularização de retina em um paciente com hipertensão arterial sistêmica e corioretinopatia de Birdshot. Além do quadro da uveíte, pode-se observar hemorragias retinianas perivasculares, obstruções venosas discretas, neovascularização de retina e hemorragias vítreas leves transitórias. Essas alterações podem estar relacionadas a co-fatores como vasculite crônica e à presença de zonas de não perfusão capilar associadas a vasculopatia retiniana hipertensiva.

SUMMARY The authors describe a unusual case of retinal neovascularization in a patient with sistemic arterial hipertension and Birdshot Chorioretinopathy. In addition to the uveitis, there were perivascular retinal hemorrhages, discrete venous oclusions, retinal neovascularization and transient vitreous hemorrhages. This findings may be related to cofactors as chronic vasculitis and the presence of capillary nonperfusion areas associated to a hipertensive retinal vasculopathy.
