RESUMO
We present a case report of a patient suffering of severe hypertension and grade IV hypertensive retinopathy according to the Keith-Wagener classification. Simultaneously hypertensive encephalopathy was present confirming the poor prognosis of discoedema occurring in the course of hypertension when left untreated. Hypertension was related to chronic poisoning with glycyrrhiza, and its hyperaldosteronism like effect. Pathogenesis of discoedema in malignant hypertension is discussed.
