  • Title: A rare and unusual retinal arterioarterial communication in a prepapillary vascular loop.
    Author: Makino S.
    Journal: Digit J Ophthalmol; 2014; 20(1):10-2. PubMed ID: 25097458.
    Abstract:
    Fundus examination of a 40-year-old man presenting with blurred vision in his right eye revealed mild vitreous hemorrhage, a prepapillary vascular loop, and a peripapillary epiretinal membrane. Additionally, a superotemporal branch retinal artery communicated directly with an inferotemporal branch retinal artery in the temporal fovea at 2 locations. Fluorescein angiography confirmed an extremely rare arterioarterial communication. Two weeks later the vitreous hemorrhage and small intraretinal hemorrhage had disappeared, and the visual acuity in the right eye improved.
