ABSTRACT
The authors report optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings of a hypertensive woman with retinal arterial macroaneurysm who noted sudden decreased vision in the left eye. Fluorescein angiography and OCT confirmed a diagnosis of retinal arterial macroaneurysm with macular hemorrhage, delineating the sub-internal limiting membrane and subretinal location of the hemorrhage. She subsequently underwent surgical displacement of the hemorrhage. OCT may be a useful imaging tool for evaluation and guidance of treatment in a hemorrhage involving the macula in retinal arterial macroaneurysm, diabetic retinopathy, and Terson's syndrome.
