An 18-year-male is presented to the Emergency Department (ED) on Saturday afternoon with on & off headache for 2 months with history of left eye blurriness & strain while focusing on distant object. On examination, there is a mild red left eye with normal visual acuity, colour of vision and intraocular pressure is found.
However, fundoscopy examination of left eye reveals ciliary retinal artery with multiple aneurysmal changes and telangiectasia associated with exudate and “sausage” segmentation of arterioles.
