We present a 56-year-old female with a macular vortex vein in her right eye and a varix of vortex vein ampulla in the inferior nasal fundus of her left eye. The choroidal lesions were evaluated by multimodal imaging including fundoscopy with contact lens, ultra-widefield fundus photography, swept-souse optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT), enface image of widefield optical coherence tomography (widefield enface-OCT), and ultra-widefield fundus angiography.
