“…Congenital arteriovenous communications are rare, unilateral developmental anomalies of the vascular network. 4 , 5 , 6 Most of the cases are asymptomatic. The cause for loss of vision is due to late ocular complications like retinal vein occlusion (45%), hemorrage (33%), macular edema or rare congenital vascular malformations like morning glory disc anomaly, Sturge-Weber syndrome and macroaneurysm.…”

PurposeTo describe a rare case of retinal racemose hemangioma (RRH) with retinal artery macroaneurysm (RAM) and its optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) finding before and after treatment.ObservationsCongenital arteriovenous (AV) communications or RRH is a rare developmental anomaly associated with various ocular conditions. RRH alone is usually asymptomatic, and vision loss occurs when associated with other ocular complications like retinal vein occlusion, hemmorage, macular edema and macroaneurysm. In this communication we describe a case of a 44-year-old female having RRH who presented with active, leaking RAM with subretinal hemmorage. OCT-A through the lesion demonstrated an active aneurysm which on subsequent treatment with anti VEGF and focal laser photocoagulation showed involution of aneurysm.Conclusions and importanceRRH is usually asymptomatic and may be associated with vision threatening ocular complications like RAM. OCT-A helps in giving additional dynamic blood flow information in RAM.

“…demonstrating fleeting MA in a case of racemose angioma over a course of 4 years. [ 6 ] In our case, we noticed Type II and III racemose angioma with development of new MAs at different sites. MAs resolved, leaving behind patent blood vessel with surrounding gliotic scar and focal progressive narrowing of the vessel at site of MA.…”

We present a rare case of retinal racemose angioma complicated with fleeting macroaneurysm (MA). A 50-year-old female presented with diminution of vision in her right eye for 6 years. Fundus examination showed a racemose angioma with hemorrhagic MA temporal to the fovea in the right eye. On subsequent follow-ups, spontaneous thrombosis of MA was noted with the development of new MA inferior to the fovea, with intraretinal hemorrhage extending into the fovea. Focal laser to MA resulted in resolution of MA with improvement in vision. We report optical coherence tomography angiographic features of the fleeting MA in a case of racemose angioma.

“…Venous aneurysms have also been reported. 4 Elevated intraocular pressure may predispose to leakage. While congenital anomalous macrovessel is frequently a stable clinical entity, our patient had a congenital retinal macrovessel that crossed the medial raphe and was associated with a leaking juxtafoveal macroaneurysm.…”
