Dual macroaneurysms on the same retinal arteriole.
A case of two macroaneurysms on the same retinal arteriole is presented. After observation of these lesions for some weeks, an increased threat to the macula from oedema led to laser photocoagulation. Although treatment did not hasten resolution, the patient has remained asymptomatic. The aetiology and natural history of macroaneurysms are discussed.
