Abstract
Leber miliary aneurysm is a part of the primary retinal telangiectasia spectrum. It usually presents in middle-aged males with retinal hard exudates and aneurysmal changes of the retinal vessels. It is often unilateral, and typically affects the temporal aspect of the retina. Treatment is with light laser photocoagulation and cryotherapy. We present a case of a 33-year-old Bangladeshi female who presented with gradual blurring of vision, with hard exudates and retinal vessel aneurysm and dilatation seen on her temporal retina. The temporal aspect of the macula was also involved.
