title: [Decompensation of a cirsoid aneurysm: a case report].
abstract: We report a case of a 27-year-old woman with a cirsoid aneurysm, also called congenital arteriovenous communication of the retina. The cirsoid aneurysm, stage I according to Archer's classification, was revealed by a serous retinal detachment. The exudation resolved, and acuity was recovered after a short time, but exudation recurred during the 5 years of follow-up. Exudation of type I cirsoid aneurysm is rare. The clinical and pathogenic features are discussed.
