RETINAL ARTERIOVENOUS MALFORMATION

Originally posted on @retina.rocks 12/19/2019

This patient was asymptomatic and found to have a macular arteriovenous malformation (AVM). OCT B-scan shows the vascular abnormality mostly involves the deep vascular complex. Fluorescein angiography demonstrates no leakage.

The patient was asymptomatic with a normal MRI and MRA of the brain/orbits.

Learning Points:
Reinal arteriovenous malformations (AVM) are typically unilateral and sporadic.

Our patient had an isolated AVM. Wyburn-Mason Syndrome is characterized by the presence of retinal AVMs, as well as AVMs of the cerebral nervous system (CNS) and/or orbit.
