Purpose. To present the unusual case of multiple retinal arterial macroaneurysms (RAMs) associated with an extensive submacular hemorrhage. Methods. A 64-year-old hypertensive woman is presented including the clinical findings, fluorescein angiography, and optical coherence tomography. Results. The patient presented with 20/200 vision due to a dense submacular hemorrhage in the right eye. Fluorescein angiography revealed 4 hyperfluorescent lesions along the inferotemporal arteriole corresponding to RAMs. Optical coherence tomography confirmed RAM rupture with no choroidal abnormality. The patient refused surgical intervention. At 3-month follow-up, vision had improved to 20/70 with partial resolution of the hemorrhage. However, vitreoretinal traction with neurosensory retinal detachment involving the macula had developed. Conclusions. Acquired RAMs are typically found as unilateral solitary lesions in older hypertensive women. The presence of 4 RAMs along the same arteriole has not been reported previously. Hypertensive patients should be examined regularly in order to detect potential RAMs early enough to permit treatment and prevent vision loss. |
