Background/Purpose:
To report a case of congenital retinal macrovessel associated with cystoid macular edema and an ipsilateral intracranial venous malformation.
Methods:
Case report.
Results:
A 58-year-old woman with decreased vision was found to have a congenital retinal venous macrovessel associated with cystoid macular edema because of tributary venous occlusion. The patient underwent neuroimaging and an ipsilateral venous malformation of the frontal lobe was discovered.
Conclusion:
Congenital retinal macrovessel can occasionally be complicated by vascular occlusion and macular edema. The authors report a case of congenital retinal macrovessel associated with an intracranial venous malformation. Clinicians should be aware of this potential association, and further studies are warranted.
