“…Moreover, compared to other imaging examinations, OCTA is less affected by fibrosis and has better sensitivity in displaying RCH. 7 In our case, the OCTA B-scan revealed different size multilocular cavernous spaces in the inner retina, varying signals, with an epiretinal membrane (Figure 3(a)). Different from the cap fluorescence of FFA, in the B-scan, hyporeflectivity at the top and hyperreflectivity at the bottom was detected in some cystic, corresponding to the separation of plasma and sedimentary blood cells in the lower layer (Figure 3(b)).…”

Purpose Herein, we reported a case of retinal cavernous hemangioma (RCH) and its multimodal imaging. Case presentation Many grape-like lesions were incidentally found along the distal portion of the vascular arcade in a 23-year-old man's superonasal quadrant of the retina. The best-corrected visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes. The fluorescein angiography showed saccular lesions that slowly filled with hypofluorescence in the early stage and clusters of aneurysms with hyperfluorescence and a special “fluorescein cap” appearance in the late stage. The optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) B-scan revealed multilocular cavernous spaces with different sizes in the inner retinal layers, varying signals, and an epiretinal membrane. The enface OCTA of retina showed grape-like changes and multiple highly reflective signal cavities with clear and complete boundaries. Conclusion Different multimodal images are better for understanding the characteristics of RCH and more convenient for its diagnosis and follow-up.

“…OCTA findings in RCH are described in few reports. 6,7,9,10 OCTA shows characteristic vascular changes of RCH ad has good correspondence with fundus imaging and FFA findings; moreover, OCTA image is less affected by glial fibrosis compared with other imaging examinations. 9 In our case, OCTA confirmed the low flow circulation inside the angiomatous lesions, suggesting the independence between the blood flow inside the lesion from the normal retinal blood flow.…”

Purpose: We describe the characteristics of an isolated retinal cavernous hemangioma in a young female patient using multimodal imaging. Case description: Fundus examination of the right eye showed a large vascular mass, composed by clusters of dark red and dilated saccular angiomatous formations with superficial whitish fibroglial tissue and hemorrhages, located in the inferonasal peripheral retina, along the vascular arcade. On green-light fundus autofluorescence the lesion appeared hypoautofluorescent, with moderately hyperautofluorescent areas. On multiColor imaging it showed mainly a green pseudocolor, with knobby surface and well-defined irregular margins. Fundus fluorescein angiography showed early hypofluorescence within the tumor mass and late incomplete staining, without leakage. Ocular ultrasonography documented an elevated well-defined hyperechogenic lesion, with high internal reflectivity, without choroidal excavation, retinal detachment, or acoustic shadowing. Swept source optical coherence tomography showed multilobulated cavernous formations, varying in size, containing for the greatest part hyperreflective material, within an interconnecting fibrous scaffold and with an overlying partially adherent epiretinal membrane. Optical coherence tomography angiography documented a few highly reflective, tortuous and abnormal branching veins extending into the tumor mass, with a root-like appearance, and surrounding nodular changes, corresponding to the angiomatous formations. Conclusions: Different imaging modalities can be used in combination for a better evaluation of the pathological features of this rare vascular tumor.

The vascular tumors of the retina and optic disc include retinal hemangioblastoma (capillary hemangioma), retinal cavernous hemangioma, retinal racemose hemangioma (Wyburn-Mason Syndrome) and retinal vasoproliferative tumor. Although retinal vascular tumors are not common, in some cases they can lead to diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Sector laser photocoagulation, cryotherapy, transpupillary thermotherapy, photodynamic therapy, intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy, plaque radiotherapy, and endoresection procedures are commonly in the treatment of retinal hemangioblastoma. Cryotherapy, transpupillary thermotherapy, photodynamic therapy, intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy and dexamethasone implants, plaque radiotherapy, and endoresection methods can be applied in retinal vasoproliferative tumor. No treatment in usually necessary in retinal cavernous and racemous hemangiomas.
