Hemorrhagic retinal arterial macroaneurysm combined with branch retinal artery occlusion treated with intravitreal conbercept injection: A case report.

Abstract

RATIONALE:

Branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) is a rare complication of retinal arterial macroaneurysm (RAM), a low-incidence ocular disease.

PATIENT CONCERNS:

A 75-year-old woman presented with a chief complaint of blurred vision.

DIAGNOSES:

The patient for 4 days received a diagnosis of RAM combined with BRAO.

INTERVENTIONS:

The patient was treated with two successive intravitreal conbercept injections.

OUTCOMES:

The patient's best-corrected visual acuity improved, and the RAM diminished.

LESSONS:

Administration of conbercept injection might be an effective treatment for complex RAM with BRAO.
