Abstract

A 36-year-old Taiwanese male, who denied any history of ocular trauma, intraocular inflammation or surgery, had a macular pucker associated with a peripheral retinal angioma. The yellow-white macular pucker, which extended from the temporal disc to the macular area, was thicker and with more prominent retinal striaes than found among the elderly. Regression of the macular pucker did not occur with incomplete laser photocoagulation of the angioma. Retinal angioma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of macular pucker without posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) in healthy young patients. Management of this association is primarily complete obliteration of the angioma.
