الوصف: Purpose: To present the case of a 37-year-old female with a foveal macrovessel. Observations: The patient had an incidental finding of congenital retinal macrovessel (CRM) in the left eye on optical coherence tomography (OCT). Visual acuity was normal, and slit lamp and dilated fundus examinations were otherwise unremarkable. OCT angiography (OCTA) imaging allowed for visualization of the depth profile of the vessel as well as the foveal avascular zone (FAZ). The FAZ and foveal pit were both smaller in the affected eye compared to the fellow eye. Conclusions and importance: We describe findings of OCTA imaging in a patient with CRM. Previous reports have relied on examination using fluorescein angiography, which does not provide sufficient axial resolution to discern the different vascular plexuses. This report further characterizes how this rare condition can affect foveal morphology and retinal vasculature.
