    Description
    This is a fundus photo depicting ruptured Retinal Artery Macroaneurysm (RAM) in the left eye of a 63 years old female. RAM is an acquired saccular or fusiform dilatation of the retinal arterioles that usually occur within the first three orders of bifurcation. The Superotemporal artery is the most common location. RAM may be asymptomatic or cause a number of complications such as macular edema, serous macular detachment, and hemorrhages.
