Zusammenfassung:	Aim: To explore the influence of a cilio-retinal artery on diabetic maculopathy. Methods: In the county of North Jutland 481 diabetic subjects underwent examination for diabetic retinopathy during the period 1 June 2000 to 30 June 2001. A unilateral cilio-retinal artery was observed in 104 patients among which 29 revealed variation in right and left eye maculopathy. A bilateral cilio-retinal artery was observed in 15 diabetic subjects. The influence of a cilio-retinal artery on diabetic maculopathy was explored in a paired study. Results: Diabetic maculopathy was found to be more severe in 26 of 29 eyes with a cilio-retinal artery (p
