Purpose:
This case report describes an uncommon presence of a retinal arterial macroaneurysm complicated by retinal neovascularization.
Methods:
This is a case history of a 49-year-old woman presenting with preretinal, intraretinal, and subretinal hemorrhage with an adjacent retinal arterial macroaneurysm complicated by the development of retinal neovascularization.
Results:
The neovascularization, intraretinal lipid, and retinal and preretinal hemorrhage resolved after laser photocoagulation, topical steroids, and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agent treatment.
Conclusion:
The rapid development of a large frond of neovascularization is atypical for retinal arterial macular aneurysms and has not been previously reported.
