title: [Venous vascular anomalies within the myelinated retinal nerve fiber area].
abstract: We report the case of a 25 year old caucasian female who was presented to our clinic with a four year history of recurrent vitreous hemorrhages, myelinated retinal nerve fibers and ipsilateral anisometropic myopia, astigmatism and amblyopia of her right eye. On fluorescein angiography small, postcapillary venous malformations in the area of myelinization were diagnosed. Vascular anomalies within regions of myelinated retinal nerve fibers have not been described so far. Even if actual leakage itself from the anomalous vessels could not be documented, vitreous hemorrhaging did not recur after successful lasercoagulation and obliteration of the vascular anomalies.
