Abstract
We observed aneurysms of the retinal arteries, capillaries, and venules occurring in a patient with cytomegalovirus retinitis. These aneurysms were caused by involvement of the retinal vascular endothelium resulting in focal weaknesses in the vascular walls. The clinical appearance of this retinitis superficially resembled retinal branch vein occlusion.
