“…In the majority of cases, congenital retinal macrovessels have no effect on VA, although in rare cases, macular hemorrhage, foveolar cysts, serous macular detachment, and the presence of an anomalous vessel in the foveola can affect vision [2][3][4][5]. FA findings of anomalous vessels consist of early filling and delayed emptying, capillary perfusion abnormalities, focal capillary dilatations, direct arteriovenous communications and enlargement of the foveal avascular zone [2,6,7].…”

Congenital retinal macrovessel: atypical presentation using optical coherence tomography

To describe a congenital retinal macrovessel with macular thickening. This case was investigated using fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, Spectralis optical coherence tomography and a 10-2 visual field test. A 23-year-old man was referred to our clinic with decreased vision in the right eye. Fundus examination of the right eye revealed a congenital retinal macrovessel that originated inferior to the superotemporal branch of the central retinal vein. Using fluorescein angiography, early filling and delayed emptying of the aberrant vein were observed. Spectralis optical coherence tomography demonstrated macular thickening and was supported by a 10-2 visual field test that revealed a relative scotoma corresponding to the same location. At the 18-month follow-up, visual acuity remained stable. Although rare, this case demonstrated that macular thickening can cause decreased visual acuity in the presence of a congenital retinal macrovessel.

“…Apesar do quadro clínico característico não envolver baixa da acuidade visual, excepcionalmente esta pode ocorrer caso o vaso passe através da fovéola, se formarem cistos foveolares ou caso ocorra hemorragia (2)(3)(4) . A hemorragia, com baixa súbita e significativa da visão, foi associada à manobra de Valsalva e também a comunicações arteriovenosas em casos distintos (5)(6) .…”

“…Reduction of vision in the involved eye is rare and has been attributed to haemorrhage, to foveal cyst, or to the mere presence of the aberrant vessel in the foveal area [4][5][6].…”
