%X Caso Cl赤nico: Var車n de 36 a os que presenta p谷rdida s迆bita de visi車n central, durante una expedici車n al Daulaghiri (cordillera del Himalaya), de 8.167m de altitud. Discusi車n: Las hemorragias retinianas de la altura son una manifestaci車n frecuente en monta eros que superan los 5.500m de altitud. Seg迆n su localizaci車n puede cursar de forma asintom芍tica y suele evolucionar favorablemente. En caso de afectaci車n macular, la visi車n disminuye de forma dr芍stica y el pron車stico es incierto. Case report: This case report presents a 36 year-old male with a sudden loss of vision while taking part in an expedition in the Daulaghiri (8,167 metres high peak located in the Himalayan Mountain Range). Discussion: High altitude retinal haemorrhage is a common condition in those mountaineers who reach altitudes over 5,500m. Depending on its location it may not present any symptoms and the condition improves with no further complications. However, in case of macular involvement the vision decreases dramatically and the consequences are uncertain.
