description | Retinal arterial macroaneurysms represent an acquired vascular irregularity that is primarily observed in the elderly population. The high variability surrounding the clinical presentation of this condition makes the initial diagnosis challenging. Employing several diagnostic techniques including fundus fluorescence angiography, optical coherence tomography, and optical coherence tomography angiography ensures that any hemorrhages secondary to macroaneurysms rupture are identified promptly. This is crucial for appropriately managing the case and ensuring a good prognosis. Here, we present a case of a multilayered hemorrhage secondary to a ruptured retinal arterial macroaneurysm managed with a pars plana vitrectomy with gas tamponade and we aim to highlight the recent advancements in diagnosis and management of this condition. |
