It has been reported to be associated with branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO), amaurosis fugax, recurrent vitreous hemorrhage, subretinal retinal hemorrhage , hyphema .We present series of 6 patients , describing types of loop and their various associations Systemic investigations were done to rule out other secondary causes . Ophthalmic investigations included fundus photo , OCT , FFA . Patients were treated on the lines of associated complications . Out of 6 patients 3 were males , 3 were female . Various associations we found included vitreous hemorrhage , branch retinal vein occlusion , retinal artery macroanuerysm ,macular telengectesia , high myope and FCE with loop associated with physiological tortous vessels and accidental finding in child with blunt trauma.
