[Hereditary retinal macrovessel. Report of 2 cases].
OBJECTIVE
We report two cases of hereditary retinal macrovessel an uncommon condition where an anomalous retinal vessel crosses the macula.


METHODS
A 45-year-old woman complained of fluctuating visual acuity in the right eye for 10 years. A 24-year-old man was seen at a routine ophthalmic examination. In both patients, dilated fundus examination and fluorescein angiogram confirmed the diagnosis.


CONCLUSIONS
Hereditary retinal macrovessel is a rare condition. The anomalous vessel is remarkably stable and complications only occur exceptionally as described in the literature.
