| Abstrakt: | Congenital retinal macrovessels (CRMs) are a rare entity. They are usually unilateral, abnormally large, and aberrant vessels. Although the majority of the patients are asymptomatic, CRMs may affect vision if they are associated with pigmentary changes at the macula, foveolar cysts, central serous retinopathy, macular hemorrhage, or if the macrovessel crosses the fovea. Here, we present the case of a young female who came for a routine ophthalmological evaluation. She was asymptomatic, and the macrovessel was an incidental finding. Visual acuity and slit lamp examination were normal, and dilated fundus evaluation was normal except for CRM in the right eye. Optical coherence tomography angiography imaging helped visualize the depth of the vessel and the analysis of the architecture of the foveal avascular zone.
