Multimodal imaging in pediatric arterial macroaneurysm: A case report.

Our aim is to report a case of asymptomatic retinal arterial macroaneurysm in a 9-year-old female patient. She was referred to our Ophthalmology clinic for a routine ophthalmologic examination and, after the detection of a juxtafoveal saccular vascular enlargement in indirect ophthalmoscopy, underwent a multimodal imaging assessment. Optical coherence tomography-angiography and fluorescein angiography were important to determine the nature of the lesion, identified as a congenital retinal arterial macroaneurysm. Retinal vascular abnormalities represent a rare finding in pediatric patients and must be carefully explored to establish the correct diagnosis. A multimodal imaging approach was very useful to thoroughly reach this target. Vascular abnormalities represent a rare finding in pediatric patients and must be carefully explored to establish the correct diagnosis. A multimodal imaging approach is very useful to study in deep the reported arterial macroaneurysm in a non-invasive way.
