摘要

Purpose

We report a case of regression of a 2-year-old girl with bilateral primitive ophthalmic arteries (POAs).

Case report

The patient presented with a headache and had no visual impairment or visual field abnormalities. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) revealed arteries originating bilaterally from the cavernous internal carotid artery segments, diagnosed as persistent POAs.

Conclusion

Six months later, MRA revealed decreased origin delineation and five years later, MRA revealed bilateral origin disappearance from the orbit to the periphery.
