Recurrent Vitreous Hemorrhage in a Case of Retinal Cavernous Hemangioma: A Rare Presentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 33‐year‐old male presented with unilateral intermittent floaters and blurring of vision in the left eye for many years. Past medical history was unremarkable. There was no family history of ocular or neurological disorders. Uncorrected visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes. Slit lamp findings and tonometry results were unremarkable in both eyes. Funduscopic examination of the right eye was normal. In funduscopy of the left eye, contiguous clusters of red and dilated saccules with gray‐white surface gliosis were seen in the superior nasal quadrant. In addition, an overlying clotted vitreous hemorrhage and multiple adjacent smaller saccular aneurysmal venous dilations were visible [Figure 1]. Fluorescein angiography showed a large blocking area caused by the clot. Multiple saccular‐shaped hyperfluorescences with plasma–erythrocyte level formation corresponding to dilated venules were visible around the clot. There was no leakage [Figure 2]. These findings were compatible with the diagnosis of retinal cavernous hemangioma. DISCUSSION
