Vortex vein ampulla varicosities are asymptomatic, harmless, findings in the retina. They are incidentally picked up on routine eye examination or when presenting for unrelated ocular symptoms. Clinicians and other eye care professionals unaware of this condition may be alarmed and may subject patients to unnecessary anxiety and expensive investigations. We present a rare case of varicosity of two vortex veins involving one quadrant of the retina. We have also shown simple clinical methods of establishing the diagnosis of vortex vein varicosity.
涡静脉壶腹静脉曲张是视网膜中无症状、无害的表现。它们在常规眼部检查或出现无关眼部症状时被偶然发现。不了解这种情况的临床医生和其他眼保健专业人员可能会感到惊慌，并可能使患者遭受不必要的焦虑和昂贵的检查。我们报告一例罕见的涉及视网膜一个象限的两条涡静脉静脉曲张病例。我们还展示了诊断涡静脉静脉曲张的简单临床方法。
