“…Many reports of RAM involving normal retinal vessels or macrovessels or cilioretinal arteries are found in literature. 3,4 However, in this case, the vitreous masquerading effect on the RAM and the ophtalmoscopic aspect could lead the clinician to a misdiagnosis toward ocular tumors, vitreoretinal affections, or other vascular diseases. Retinocytoma or small astrocytic retinal hamartoma may have a similar appearance in the early stages, but lesions in the nerve fiber layer or retinal disorganization/moth-eaten spaces were not found in the structural OCT scans performed.…”

Our aim is to report a case of asymptomatic retinal arterial macroaneurysm in a 9-year-old female patient. She was referred to our Ophthalmology clinic for a routine ophthalmologic examination and, after the detection of a juxtafoveal saccular vascular enlargement in indirect ophthalmoscopy, underwent a multimodal imaging assessment. Optical coherence tomography-angiography and fluorescein angiography were important to determine the nature of the lesion, identified as a congenital retinal arterial macroaneurysm. Retinal vascular abnormalities represent a rare finding in pediatric patients and must be carefully explored to establish the correct diagnosis. A multimodal imaging approach was very useful to thoroughly reach this target. Vascular abnormalities represent a rare finding in pediatric patients and must be carefully explored to establish the correct diagnosis. A multimodal imaging approach is very useful to study in deep the reported arterial macroaneurysm in a non-invasive way.

“…Our case presented with a macroaneurysm along the arterial CRM and prominent macular exudation, with retinal oedema. Only 2 case reports of arterial CRM with a leaking macroaneurysm affecting visual acuity were found in literature [5], [6]. Koizumi et al also described a retinal arteriolar macroaneurysm and CRM, however, both lesions were distinct and unrelated 7 …”

Congenital retinal macrovessel (CRM) refers to an aberrant vessel, usually a vein, which traverses the macula and supplies both sides of the horizontal raphe. It is a rare condition, mostly asymptomatic and discovered on routine examination. We describe a case of both arterial and venous CRM with a macroaneurysm along the arterial CRM that presented with decreased vision due to prominent lipid exudation at the macula. Treatment with intravitreal bevacizumab resulted in a favourable anatomical as well as functional outcome. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of this unusual presentation of CRM, and its successful management with intravitreal bevacizumab.
