Abstract:
PURPOSE: To report a case of a young man with nonspecific normal retinal vessels found in foveal avascular zone. METHODS: We experienced a 20-year-old man with decreased visual acuity of left eye. In anterior segment there was no abnormality, but there were unusual vessels in foveal avascular zone that appeared to be normal vessels. RESULTS: In fluorescein angiography, dye was exhibited on the vessel of foveal avascular zone in 14-15 sec after injection, and there were no leaking or abnormal findings. CONCLUSIONS: Normal retinal vasculature in foveal avascular zone is known to be an extremely unusual case in normal adult, and it is to report a case with review of available papers.
