We report a rare type of retinal vascular abnormality--retinal arteriovenous anastomoses--and discuss the associated pathoanatomy and hemodynamics of the retinal vascular anomaly itself as demonstrated by fluorescein angiography. We emphasize our preference for using infused computed tomographic scanning rather than cerebral arteriography to rule out the existence of associated intracranial vascular lesions in such cases.
