“…Circumscribed choroidal haemangiomas, on the other hand, almost always occur as an isolated finding and are not associated with a cutaneous or systemic condition. 149 However, the author has recently seen three cases of an apparently circumscribed choroidal haemangioma in association with the Sturge-Weber syndrome. One of these cases has been reported in the literature.…”

“…Circumscribed haemangiomas may present at any age, are most frequently diagnosed in the third and fourth decades; and affect both white and nonwhite individuals. 149 Choroidal haemangiomas were found to occur equally in males and females in one large series 148 whereas, males were found to be affected in over 70% of cases in another study of similar size. 149 Circumscribed choroidal haemangiomas have a curious predilection for the posterior choroid with over 85% occurring within 3 mm of the fovea.…”

“…1 Patients with choroidal haemangioma usually present with visual symptoms of either reduced vision or metamorphopsia related to foveal distortion owing to underlying tumour or accumulation of serous subretinal fluid. The visual loss can be progressive and irreversible because of chronic oedema in the foveal region leading to photoreceptor loss.…”

“…The choroidal haemangiomas are usually diagnosed between the second and fourth decade of life when they cause visual disturbance because of exudative retinal detachment. 1 As choroidal haemangioma is a benign tumour, the aim of the treatment is to limit or reduce the visual compromise caused by the subretinal fluid or by foveal distortion owing to underlying tumour. Since choroidal haemangioma is usually in the posterior pole, it is important to ensure the least amount of damage to the overlying retina to conserve visual acuity.…”
