Abstract
The authors present an indirect photocoagulation method which can terminate arteriolar aneurysm while maintaining the patency of the vessel. This is essential if the aneurysm is located near the macula lutea. Coagulating on the boundary of the lesion, a fibrous scar could generate which, by scarring gradually, could terminate the aneurysm without obliterating it. In the case reviewed, the scarring process lasted about 3 months, the clearing of hard exudates took more than a year, and thereafter visual acuity improved significantly but relative central scotoma remained.
