Abstract
Two patients with spontaneous intraretinal or subretinal hemorrhages were found, on evaluation by fluorescein angiography, to have macroaneurysms involving the major retinal arteries. Both patients were male in their seventies. One patient had a history of systemic hypertension. In the other patient, hypertension was discovered at the time of consultation. With absorption of the hemorrhage and the macular star, two patients experienced appreciable improvement in vision. Laser thrapy was not applied to both patients. The aneurysms diminished in size after 6 to 8 months as a result of fibrous changes within the arterial walls.
Key Words: Arterial macroaneurysm;Hypertension;Intraretinal hemor-rhage;Subretinal hemorrhage;Visual improvement
