The records of 10 patients with cavernous choroidal hemangiomas were reviewed. Biomicroscopic findings were typical in all cases. Indocyanin green infrared angiography was performed on 8 patients. It showed typical and specific findings. Argon laser photocoagulation of the tumor was carried out in 6 cases with associated macular serous retinal detachment. Cryotreatment was applied in addition to argon laser photocoagulation in 2 cases with associated extensive bullous retinal detachment. Serous retinal detachment and macular edema completely resolved after treatment in 4 cases. Posttreatment visual acuity was the same as before treatment in 2 cases. In 4 cases it was improved.

Circumscribed choroidal hemangiomas are benign vascular hamartomas without systemic associations. Generally, they are orange-red elevated masses, which are found posterior to the equator. Lesions are usually solitary and unilateral. Overlying subretinal fluid, serous retinal detachment and cystoid macular edema are common findings. Intravenous fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, ultrasonography, optical coherence tomography and enhanced depth imaging are helpful ancillary tests for diagnosis of circumscribed choroidal hemangiomas. Asymptomatic circumscribed choroidal hemangiomas do not require treatment. For symptomatic lesions with exudative retinal detachment or cystoid macular edema, photodynamic therapy has emerged as the treatment of choice with high rates of tumor regression, subretinal fluid resorption and minimal complications. Lens-sparing external beam radiotherapy, plaque brachytherapy, proton beam therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, transpupillary thermotherapy, laser photocoagulation and anti-VEGF injections are other treatment modalities.

“…The remainder were considered to be astrocytic proliferations and they were all circumscribed lesions formed chiefly by well-differentiated astrocytes [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15], the majority being situated on, or contiguous with, the optic nerve head. There is another case [16] which is referred to by Reeser et al [11] as similar to their own, and a report [17] of glial tissue filling a congenitally abnormal eye which is claimed to represent an astro cytoma, but is better classified as massive gliosis. The tumour described by Rosa [18], although referred to as a retinal glioma, is illustrated as lying deep to the ciliary epithe lium and is not an astrocytic tumour histo logically.…”

Solitary Astrocytic Hamartoma Simulating Retinoblastoma

The clinical, ultrasonographic and histopathological features (including immunohistochemistry and transmission electron microscopy) are described in a solitary astrocytic hamartoma of the retina in a 3-year-old child who was otherwise normal. Focal calcification was detected by ultrasound and this contributed to a misdiagnosis of retinoblastoma. The small tumour was located within the nerve fibre layer at the posterior pole and consisted solely of uniformly distributed astrocytes with benign cytological characteristics. Calcospherites were found within the cytoplasm of the astrocytes. Vascular abnormalities included intimal fibroplasia of arterioles with calcification of the internal elastic lamina and widespread endothelial proliferation; such abnormalities have not been previously noted in tumours with this degree of differentiation. The histological features are compared with those in previous reports of this rare tumour.
