[Early arterial macroaneurysm diagnosed by AFG].
OBJECTIVE
With this case we try to emphasize the possibility to detect aneurysms and discuss their treatment.


CONCLUSIONS
We report the case of a patient with Type II Diabetes of six years duration who came for a routine review. At examination, a macular lesion in the left eye was found (microcystic-like appearance with associated exudation). The left eye acuity was 0,4 which improved with glasses to 0,7. After performing a fluorescein angiography, we diagnosed it as yuxtafoveolar teleangiectasias and it was studied in order to evaluate laser treatment. Some months later, we performed another fluorescein angiography and an arterial macroaneurysm <<ex novo>> located in the nasal superior quadrant was noticed. Owing to its location, it was not treated.
