RESUMO
We report a case of unilateral optociliary shunt vessels and sickle cell retinopathy in a patient with sickle cell trait. Sickle cell retinopathy has rarely been reported in patients with sickle cell trait hemoglobinopathy. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the association of sickle cell trait, unilateral sickle cell retinopathy, and ipsilateral optociliary shunt vessels.

This is a report of two cases of optociliary shunt vessels in patients with neonatal hydrocephalus. Complete disappearance of the optociliary shunt vessels occurred after surgical procedures to normalize intracranial pressure. The clinicopathological significance, prognosis, and treatment of patients with acquired optociliary shunt vessels is discussed. This is also the first report of the association of optociliary shunt vessels and neonatal hydrocephalus.
