An elevation of the inner retina is noted. What is it?
Analysis
There is significant elevation of the inner retina. Intraretinal fluid is noted. In addition, there is a hyperreflective lesion (with a very hyperreflective rim). In the outer retina at the level of the outer plexiform layer a hyper reflective area - consistent with exudate - is noted. This lesion was noted to be hyper fluorescent on angiography (video).
The patient was treated for both a retinal arterial macroaneurysm as well as a choroidal nevus.

OCT Tip
Inner retinal elevation with or without exudation is consistent with retinal artery macro aneurysm.
