Description

This is a newly described entity in which patients develop solitary aneurysms that are much larger than typical microaneurysms and they are supplied by capillaries. The aneurysm is shown in red. The associated macular edema produced cystoid spaces in Henle’s fiber layer, rendered as teal and in the inner nuclear layer as blue.
