“…3 Vitreous hemorrhage is an uncommon initial presentation of RCH and is not typically trauma-related. 4 , 5 Here, we report the serendipitous finding of vitreous hemorrhage from RCH caused by birth trauma in a 5-week-old male. Multi-modal imaging, including intra-operative optical coherence tomography and fluorescein angiography, confirmed the diagnosis of RCH.…”

“…Previously reported cases of vitreous hemorrhage secondary to RCH are typically spontaneous and not trauma-related. 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 One mechanism of atraumatic vitreous hemorrhage in RCH is contraction of epiretinal membrane that is attached to saccules. 9 However, in this patient, we postulate that the predominant reason for vitreous hemorrhage was a prolonged and traumatic vaginal delivery.…”

Purpose To report a case of vitreous hemorrhage as the presenting sign of retinal cavernous hemangioma (RCH) in a newborn. Observations A five-week-old full-term male with a history of seizures and birth trauma underwent ophthalmology screening. Initial eye examination revealed vitreous hemorrhage. Subsequent examination under anesthesia with multi-modal imaging revealed vitreous hemorrhage and an intra-retinal mass with numerous sac-like aneurysmal dilatations, consistent with RCH. Conclusions and importance Vitreous hemorrhage in a neonate is an atypical presentation of RCH. Clinicians should be aware that birth trauma may lead to vitreous hemorrhage from RCH. This is the first description of RCH, a rare retinal vascular tumor, in a newborn.

Retinal cavernous hemangiomas are benign vascular anomalies that are typically unilateral and located outside of the macula. Fluorescein angiography findings include an early slow-filling, non-leaking lesion with late intermixed lobules of hyperfluorescence and hypofluoresence secondary to plasma and erythrocyte sedimentation. We present a novel case of unilateral macular cavernous hemangioma with bilateral peripheral vascular anomalies and nonperfusion. This may represent a phenotypic variation of hemangiomas that, in conjunction with recent histopathologic and genetic findings, may aid in future therapies for a disease that has been traditionally observed due to slow progression.
