Pre-Papillary Arterial Loop, (Look also under Retina)

Pre-Papillary Arterial Loop, (Look also under Retina)
Overlying the superior aspect of the optic disc is an arterial malformation having a convoluted component at the superior pole and a corkscrew component that extends horizontally. A resolving blot retinal hemorrhage is situated superotemporal to the disc. Though usually benign, pre-papillary arterial loops can be associated with either branch retinal artery occlusion or vitreous hemorrhage.
