  • Title: [Congenital retinal macrovessel: an atypical presentation with low vision and macular thickening].
    Author: Blanco Domínguez I, Vidal Fernández P, Rojas Lozano P, Oteiza Álvarez A, Suárez Leoz M.
    Journal: Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol; 2015 Jan; 90(1):33-6. PubMed ID: 25443180.
    Abstract:
    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 as their visual impact is minimal. In the rare cases where there is a significant visual impairment, this is due to macular hemorrhages, foveal cysts, serous macular detachment, or the course of the vessel itself through the foveal avascular zone.
