Abstract Three cases with preretinal arterial loops complicated by obstructive accidents of various intensities are reported. The range of the complication varied from arterial spasm to transient retinal hemorrhages and arterial branch occlusion with permanent field defect, followed by extensive recurrent vitreous hemorrhages. These results lend further support to the assumption that the spiral arterial loops have an inherent tendency to twist and produce occlusive episodes.
