Cilioretinal arteries (CAs) deriving from the short posterior ciliary arteries (SPCAs). The left panel shows fundus photographs and the right panel shows the arterial phase of indocyanine green angiography (ICGA). (A,B) Left fundus photograph of the eye of a 70-year-old woman with an axial length of 31.1 mm. The ICGA image shows a large CA (black arrowheads) emerging at the upper pole of the optic disc from a SPCA. The central arterial trunk is located in the center of the optic disc and does not show any connection to the CA. The SPCA the CA is originating from is visualized (red arrowheads). (C,D) Right fundus photograph of the eye of a 75-year-old woman with an axial length of 28.8 mm. ICGA shows multiple CAs emerging from the upper sector of the optic disc (black arrowheads). The central arterial trunk is seen in the center of optic disc separated from the CAs. The SPCAs the CA originate from can be visualized (red arrowheads). (E,F) Left fundus of a 42-year-old woman with an axial length of 29.78 mm. The ICGA shows a CA emerging from the upper sector of the optic disc and another CA emerging from the lower sector of the optic disc (black arrowheads). The SPCA as origin of the CAs can be visualized on the ICGAs (red arrowheads).
