To report the changes over time in ocular blood flow quantified by laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG) in a treated large retinal arterial macroaneurysm (RAM). A 72-year old female presented with sudden decreased vision in the left eye. Fundus examination revealed a RAM and vitreous hemorrhage (VH), which worsened over one month. A vitrectomy was performed to remove the VH, with 20% sulfur hexafluoride injected into the vitreous cavity. The VH recurred two weeks later and the RAM was found to have enlarged from one-quarter disc diameter (DD) to three DDs during a second vitrectomy. The RAM subsequently shrunk spontaneously to one DD without recurrent VH during the following 2 weeks. Beginning 4 weeks after the second vitrectomy we performed serial LSFG examinations of the RAM and found that the mean blur rate (MBR) of the RAM and retinal flow volume (RFV) in both the feeding arteriole and draining venule decreased as the RAM continued to involute. MBR and arteriolar and venular RFV measured by LSFG decreased with RAM involution. Longitudinal followup of blood flow by LSFG may be useful for noninvasive evaluation of the stability of RAMs.
