Retinal Macroaneurysm
Retunal Macroaneurysm is a rare disorder due to a malformation in a retinal artery. It is oftern associated with high blood
pressure. In most cases the aneurysm is a coincidental finding on routine examination and is just observed.
At times the aneurysm may cause bleeding or leaking of fluid. This may lead to loss of vision. Often the aneurysm is treated
with laser treatment in the office and the blood resolves. In most cases when the blood resolves there is some improvement in
vision. In certain cases when the blood involves the fovea or is not clearing quickly, the retinal surgeon may try to remove
the blood by vitrectomy.
The mode of treatment depends on the extent and location of the bleeding.
