영문 초록

Purpose: To report two cases of familial retinal arteriolar tortuosity found in a 62-year-old female patient and her daughter. To our knowledge, this is the first time this familial condition has been observed in Korea. Methods: Retinal arteriolar tortuosity was observed in a 62-year-old female patient. For the differential diagnosis of retinal vascular tortuosity, we performed diverse laboratory tests and thorough history taking. Suspecting familial association, we performed a careful ocular examination on her 32-year-old daughter. Results: Similar patterns of retinal arteriolar tortuosity were observed in her daughter’s fundus, to a lesser degree. We diagnosed the female patient and her daughter with familial retinal arteriolar tortuosity. Conclusions: We present two cases of familial arteriolar tortuosity within one family. This is the first report of familial arteriolar tortuosity in Korea to our knowledge.
