Multimodal imaging in a case of a congenital retinal macrovessel associated with a retinal cavernous hemangioma: a case report

Abstract: Background: To report the results of multimodal imaging in a case of a congenital retinal macrovessel associated with a retinal cavernous hemangioma. Case presentation: A 52-year-old female patient presented with progressive vision loss in the right eye. BCVA was 8/20 in the right eye and 18/20 in the left eye. Fundus examination of the right eye showed an aberrant retinal macrovessel arising from the inferior temporal major vein. It crossed the foveal area and overstepped to the superior retina. A "brunch of … Show more

“…Few authors have described central serous retinopathy, retinal cavernous hemangiomas, and retinal venous malformations [7,8,10,11]. OCT in our case revealed an altered foveal contour due to the CRM, shadowing behind the vessel, demonstrating that the highly scattering nature of the CRM prevented the OCT beam from penetrating the deeper layers.…”

“…Conversely, extraconal tumors may directly compress the globe and cause CRFs. Orbital plasmacytoma, 51 enlarged lacrimal gland caused by dacryoadenitis, 52 frontoethmoidal mucocele, 53 meningioma, 54,55 cavernous hemangioma, 56 meningocele, 46 sinus transverse thrombosis, 46 orbital pseudotumor 5,46 are some of the cases reported in the last years. Resolution of CRFs after surgical or medical therapy in orbital masses are unpredictable.…”
