Circumscribed Choroidal Hemangiomas

Circumscribed choroidal hemangioma diagnosed by ultrasonography

“…Enlargement of the lesion was observed in 2 cases, detection of superficial calcium deposits (osseous The clinical diagnosis of CCH is not always so straightforward as sometimes suggested in the literature [4,10]. The very limited experience of the individual ophthalmologist and the chronic secondary changes created by the benign tumor in the surrounding tissue are responsible for the diagnostic problems.…”

Diffuse choroidal haemangioma in Sturge–Weber syndrome treated with photodynamic therapy under general anaesthesia

“…Argon laser photocoagulation applied in a grid-like pattern does not reduce tumour size, and as a consequence there are frequent recurrences of subretinal fluid [2]. TTT has been shown to reduce haemangioma size; however, retreatments are often needed [6,7].…”

Transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) in circumscribed choroidal hemangioma

“…Madreperla also reported a series of 13 patients treated by photocoagulation [10] of whom 23% had improved VA by three or more lines since first presentation and only 46% showed complete resolution of subretinal fluid. Anand et al and Sanborn et al have shown previously that recurrence of subretinal fluid is common in these patients [1,15]. With this mode of treatment photocoagulation of the tumor surface is possible, but not tumor destruction.…”
