We present a rare case of retinal racemose angioma complicated with fleeting macroaneurysm (MA). A 50-year-old female presented with diminution of vision in her right eye for 6 years. Fundus examination showed a racemose angioma with hemorrhagic MA temporal to the fovea in the right eye. On subsequent follow-ups, spontaneous thrombosis of MA was noted with the development of new MA inferior to the fovea, with intraretinal hemorrhage extending into the fovea. Focal laser to MA resulted in resolution of MA with improvement in vision. We report optical coherence tomography angiographic features of the fleeting MA in a case of racemose angioma.

Article Synopsis
- A case study discusses the treatment of unilateral macular edema in a 16-year-old boy with Wyburn-Mason syndrome, using Bevacizumab and Aflibercept.
- After an initial treatment with Bevacizumab proved ineffective, the patient showed significant improvement with Aflibercept after three monthly injections.
- The study suggests that Aflibercept may be a safe and effective alternative for managing macular edema resulting from retinal arteriovenous malformations.

Purpose: To report a case of neovascular glaucoma in an 8-year-old male, secondary to a racemose hemangioma without associated intracranial arteriovenous malformation, highlighting the challenges in management and novel findings on optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
Observations: An 8-year-old male initially presented with pain, redness, and blurred vision in the right eye. The patient was diagnosed with secondary neovascular glaucoma due to a racemose hemangioma.

Article Synopsis
- Primary racemose hemangioma of the bronchial artery (RHBA) is a rare congenital condition involving enlarged bronchial arteries that may form abnormal connections with other blood vessels.
- A case study reports successful balloon-assisted embolization for a 57-year-old asymptomatic woman with RHBA, utilizing a specialized catheter system to precisely deliver a treatment mixture to the affected areas.
- This method is preferred to prevent the risk of artery rupture caused by the dilated vessels, effectively guiding treatment while controlling blood flow.
