purpose : to report a case of congenital macular macrovessels case report : an 8-year-old girl was referred for decreased vision in her right eye. her best corrected visual acuity (bcva) in the right eye was 20/200 and in the left eye 20/20. anterior segment examinations were normal in both eyes. posterior segment examination of the right eye showed abnormal macrovessels crossing the macula and...

BACKGROUND A 24-year-old woman with symptoms of chronic, recurrent headache, presumably secondary to migrainous etiology, came to our clinic and was found to have a congenital retinal macrovessel encircling an area superior to (but not passing through) the macula. CONCLUSIONS Congenital retinal macrovessels are rare, aberrantly large branches of retinal arteries or veins that typically cross ...

Here, we report a case of retinal microvascular abnormalities in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) associated with congenital retinal macrovessels. An abnormal retinal macrovessel, crossing the macula horizontally, was detected in the right eye. Additionally, retinal microvascular abnormalities were detected. Eight years after the initial visit, the retinal microvascular abnormaliti...

An unusual retinal arterial malformation is presented in this case report. A 50-years-old female with no significant past medical history, presented with an unusual retinal arterial malformation without any vision loss in the right eye. Inferior temporal retinal artery had a corkscrew like looping and extension to vitreous cavity at its emerging site from optic disc. Fundus fluorescein angiogra...

CASE REPORT We report a case of a 35 year old male patient with no medical history, who experienced decreased vision in his left eye that he noticed by chance. After a complete ophthalmic examination, he was diagnosed with congenital retinal macrovessel with macular thickening. DISCUSSION Congenital retinal macrovessels are rare vascular anomalies, in which the diagnosis is usually incidental...

Purpose Congenital retinal macrovessels (CRM) represent rare aberrant vasculature of the retinal vessels that can supply or drain the macula. In this report, the optical coherence tomography angiography features of a congenital retinal macrovessel are discussed. Methods The history and examination findings are presented alongside swept-source OCT angiography with corresponding B scan and en f...

In this report, we describe three cases of retinal macrovessel. Two of the three patients presented to our clinic for annual eye exam and had no visual complaints. The third patient presented because of vision loss in the left eye. Two patients had 20/20 best corrected visual acuity in both eyes and the third patient had 20/20 in the right eye, 20/25 in the left eye. Pupillary exams were normal...

Congenital vascular anomalies of the retina are rare, but they should be evaluated with a multidisciplinary approach because can associated systemic diseases and cause severe vision loss. This article aimed to review literature about retinal tortuosity, macrovessel, congenital folds, combined hamartoma.
