title: CONGENITAL MACROVESSEL ASSOCIATED WITH CYSTOID MACULAR EDEMA AND AN IPSILATERAL INTRACRANIAL VENOUS MALFORMATION.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a case of congenital retinal macrovessel associated with cystoid macular edema and an ipsilateral intracranial venous malformation.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A 58-year-old woman with decreased vision was found to have a congenital retinal venous macrovessel associated with cystoid macular edema because of tributary venous occlusion. The patient underwent neuroimaging and an ipsilateral venous malformation of the frontal lobe was discovered.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Congenital retinal macrovessel can occasionally be complicated by vascular occlusion and macular edema. The authors report a case of congenital retinal macrovessel associated with an intracranial venous malformation. Clinicians should be aware of this potential association, and further studies are warranted.
