PURPOSE: This case report describes an uncommon presence of a retinal arterial macroaneurysm complicated by retinal neovascularization. METHODS: This is a case history of a 49-year-old woman presenting with preretinal, intraretinal, and subretinal hemorrhage with an adjacent retinal arterial macroaneurysm complicated by the development of retinal neovascularization. RESULTS: The neovascularization, intraretinal lipid, and retinal and preretinal hemorrhage resolved after laser photocoagulation, topical steroids, and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agent treatment. CONCLUSION: The rapid development of a large frond of neovascularization is atypical for retinal arterial macular aneurysms and has not been previously reported.
