    Description
    A 34 year-old male presented with decrease vision in right eye for 3 months. Anterior segment exam was normal. Fundus exam in RE revealed presence of macular edema which was evident on OCT. Multiple retinal vascular aneurysmal dilatations with telangiectasia of the retina blood vessels noted superiorly which was evident on FFA. These aneurysms were multiple, tiny and leaky on FFA. He was diagnosed to have Leber’s miliary aneurysms. It is a rare, typically unilateral eye condition, often seen in young males, characterized by multiple tiny, leaky aneurysms in the retinal blood vessels, leading to deposits of hard exudates and potential vision loss, especially if it affects the macula. It is considered a milder form of Coats' disease.
