Abstract Purpose:To report a case of retinal racemose hemangioma with retinal vein occlusion and macular edema that responded to intravitreal injection of aflibercept.

Case:A 48-year-old male presented with sudden visual loss in the left eye since one week before.

Findings and Clinical Course:Corrected visual acuity was 1.2 in the right eye and 0.1 in the left eye.Both eyes showed vascular malformation with proliferative tissue in the optic disc. The left eye showed brush-like hemorrhage, soft exudates and serous retinal detachment inferior to the disc. Fluorescein angiography showed findings compatible with branch retinal vein occlusion(BRVO). The left eye was treated by intravitreal aflibercept. Macular edema subsided with visual acuity of 0.9 one month later. Visual acuity improved to 1.2 another 2 month later. There has no recurrence for one year until present.

Conclusion:Retinal racemose hemangioma is generally considered as benign without need for treatment. The present case shows that BRVO may develop due to elevated venous pressure and may induce macular edema.
