Description
Xiaohui Tian, Leibing Ji, and Reyisai Abudulamu report a swollen vortex vein in one eye with no underlying cause, in a case study from twenty twenty-five. Such dilations are rare, often found by chance on imaging, and their look can mimic a tumor or other vascular lesion, inviting needless intervention.
A fifty-one-year-old man showed an abnormal patch in his left eye's lower outer region at a routine exam. Five imaging methods, from color photography and ultrasound to two dye angiographies, ruled out secondary causes. The diagnosis settled as idiopathic cystic vortex vein dilatation. The authors set out the trait's signature across imaging modes so clinicians can recognize it and avoid misdiagnosis.
