[Arteriovenous communication of the retina--case report]

In this paper I have described a rare case of typical arteriovenous communication of the retina (ACVR), also called racemose haemangioma, but with some atypical traits. A case of a young white 22-year-old woman is presented. AVCR was recognised in her left eye, II stage according to Archer's classification, therefore neither intracranial haemangioma nor vascular decompensation of retina was observed. In the standard ophthalmic examination, including automated perymetry and fluorescein angiography, the following phenomena were not seen yet or they were rarely described: pigmented muffs on some changed vessels, mainly nasal location of AVCR, parallel AVCR existed between both great and precapillar vessels and macular changes: yellowish ring surrounded the central fovea. Visual acuity of the affected eye was 1.0 and the patient did not complain about it.
