Abstract
Purpose: We report a case of regression of a 2-year-old girl with bilateral primitive ophthalmic arteries (POAs).
Case Report: The patient presented with a headache and had no visual impairment or visual field abnormalities. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) revealed arteries originating bilaterally from the cavernous internal carotid artery segments, diagnosed as persistent POAs.
Conclusion: Six months later, MRA revealed decreased origin delineation and five years later, MRA revealed bilateral origin disappearance from the orbit to the periphery.
