Retinal Arterial Macroaneurysms (RAMs) are acquired saccular or fusiform dilatations of the large branches of retinal arteries, usually within the first three orders of bifurcation. RAMs are rare conditions and usually affect hypertensive elderly women. In clinical practice, RAMs are frequently misdiagnosed as they masquerade other retinal conditions. We present a case of haemorrhagic RAM which was initially misdiagnosed as vitreous haemorrhages secondary to retinal vein occlusion or posterior vitreous detachment.
