  • Title: A case of carotid aneurysm in familial retinal arterial tortuosity.
    Author: Seo JH, Kim I, Yu HG.
    Journal: Korean J Ophthalmol; 2009 Mar; 23(1):57-8. PubMed ID: 19337483.
    Abstract:
    A 44-year-old woman who showed recurrent vitreous hemorrhages with vascular tortuosity received CT angiography which revealed an internal carotid artery aneurysm. A case of internal carotid aneurysm was associated with a pattern of retinal arteriolar tortuosity pathognomic for familial retinal arterial tortuosity (fRAT), suggesting possible involvement of the cerebral circulation. We present a case of internal carotid aneurysm associated with a pattern of retinal arteriolar tortuosity pathognomic for fRAT.
