“…Our 3D‐HRT assessment and B‐scan ultrasound provided very helpful images and confirmed nicely the impressive elevation of these vessels in vivo . OCT was capable of confirming the presence of preretinal membrane formations and vitreous traction on an AV anastomosis (Arai et al. 2000), which may relate to the RPE migration mentioned earlier.…”

ABSTRACT.Purpose: To determine the vascular morphology of racemose haemangioma and related functional alterations in arteriovenous (AV) malformation type 3. Methods: A 17-year-old patient with unilateral racemose haemangioma received a full ophthalmic examination including Snellen visual acuity (VA) and Goldmann visual field. The central vision was investigated by scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) and multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG). The ocular haemodynamics were examined by fluorescence angiography and Doppler ultrasound. The tomographic contour of the vascular architecture was visualized using B-scan ultrasound, Stratus optical coherence tomography (OCT) and three-dimensional Heidelberg retina tomograph (3D-HRT II). Results: The VA of the patient's right eye was reduced to 20 ⁄ 400 and her visual field was constricted concentrically. Microperimetry revealed a small central field with good central fixation. The mfERG demonstrated reduced amplitudes of the central retina. On fluorescein angiography, there was a fast filling of the retinal branches related to the racemose vessels. Doppler ultrasound confirmed a significantly changed haemodynamic flow in the racemose vessels. Ultrasound, OCT and HRT demonstrated a prominent optic nerve head. Conclusion: The racemose haemangioma led to a marked visual field defect. Racemose haemangiomas are associated with severe changes in the haemodynamics of the retinal vasculature.

“…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

et al. 2010

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.

“…There are a few more similar cases of CRM combined with macular edema that have been reported previously. 3,4 Nevertheless, this case report is valuable because this is the first well-documented report of what may be a spontaneously resolved CSCR with CRM, and this could provide information about a possible etiologic relationship between CSCR and CRM. Currently, spectral domain OCT techniques have been developed to produce more detailed cross-sectional retinal images and RPE changes in CSCR.…”
