Abstract
Ocular involvement in hemolytic uremic syndrome is rare and in most cases presents with retinal ischemia, hemorrhages, and neovascularization. The authors describe the progression of retinal involvement as a rare complication of typical hemolytic uremic syndrome in a 2-year-old boy. Progression of retinal findings were demonstrated with serial fundus photographs. All children who develop hemolytic uremic syndrome have an early ocular consultation and regular ophthalmic follow-up. Early and regular ophthalmic examinations will be useful to expand the understanding of this rare ocular complication and to guide treatment options.
