An Isolated Prepapillary Arterial Looping Malformation
نویسنده
چکیده
An unusual retinal arterial malformation is presented in this case report. A 50-years-old female with no significant past medical history, presented with an unusual retinal arterial malformation without any vision loss in the right eye. Inferior temporal retinal artery had a corkscrew like looping and extension to vitreous cavity at its emerging site from optic disc. Fundus fluorescein angiography confirmed its arterial source. Optical coherence tomography and cranial magnetic resonance imaging showed normal findings. Ophthalmologic findings were not consistent with well-known retinal vascular malformations like Wyburn-Mason syndrome or retinal macrovessels. It can be classified in congenital prepapillary vascular loop disorders.

Prepapillary Vascular Loop Associated with Persistent Hyperplastic Primary Vitreous
A 66-year-old woman was referred for evaluation of retinal vessel abnormality. She had no visual symptoms. The anterior segment showed a retrolental opacity in her right eye. Fundus examination showed a bilateral prepapillary vascular loop associated with PHPV in her right eye. Prepapillary vascular loops were present in both eyes, although they were much more prominent in the right eye. To our...

We present a case of prepapillary vascular loops complicated by a suspected macroaneurysm rupture which was treated with intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB). A 62-year-old woman presented with decreased vision and myodesopsia in her left eye. Her best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.6 in the left eye. Fundus examination disclosed an elevated, round, and reddish lesion, retinal hemorrhage at the...
متن کاملResolution of neurogenic arterial hypertension after suboccipital decompression for Chiari malformation. Case report.
A Chiari malformation Type I may remain asymptomatic until the patient has reached adulthood and acute presentation of symptoms occurs. In several clinical and experimental studies it has been shown that essential hypertension is associated with vascular compression of the brainstem, particularly of the rostral ventrolateral medulla oblongata. Nevertheless, two cases of Chiari malformation and ...
متن کاملShortened outflow tract leads to altered cardiac looping after neural crest ablation.
BACKGROUND Congenital conotruncal malformations frequently involve dextroposed aorta. The pathogenesis of dextroposed aorta is not known but is thought to be due to abnormal looping and/or wedging of the outflow tract during early heart development. We examined the stage of cardiac looping in an experimental model of dextroposed aorta to determine the embryogenesis of this conotruncal malformat...
