Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2020 Sep 1;51(9):533-535. doi: 10.3928/23258160-20200831-09.

Abstract

Familial retinal arteriolar tortuosity (fRAT) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder that is characterized by tortuosity of the second- and third-order arterioles around the posterior pole of retina. Most cases with fRAT lack associated systemic vascular abnormality. Situs inversus, a congenital anomaly, features emergence of retinal vessels from the optic nerve head in a nasal direction, usually occurs bilaterally. In this case report, the authors describe a unique case of fRAT with unilateral situs inversus. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2020;51:533-535.].
