Retinal vasoproliferative tumor

“…FA is usually of limited value due to the preferred peripheral location of RVPTs. When feasible RVPTs' AF reveals early filling in the arterial phase with increasing hyper fluorescence and late leakage (7,10,15) . OCT also has a limited role for the same reason as AF, but is frequently used to document and follow the secondary retinal findings like edema and membrane formation ( Figure 3) (15) .…”

“…When feasible RVPTs' AF reveals early filling in the arterial phase with increasing hyper fluorescence and late leakage (7,10,15) . OCT also has a limited role for the same reason as AF, but is frequently used to document and follow the secondary retinal findings like edema and membrane formation ( Figure 3) (15) . Despite its benign nature, RVPT can cause severe visual loss due to the secondary compromise of the vitreous and retina (epiretinal and subretinal membranes, vitreous hemorrhage, subretinal fluid and exsudation) or, less frequently, neovascular glaucoma the can result in a blind painful eye and may prompt removal of the globe (8) .…”

“…There are reports of surgical resection for RVPTs that failed to respond to cryotherapy in association to intravi treous injections of antiangiogenics or as a primary treatment in an eye harboring multiple RVPTs and vitreous hemorrhage (27,28) . The surgery can be performed through pars plana vitrectomy or by a transcleral route (15,27,28) . Cataract is a common complication after vi trectomy in phakic eyes, specially when silicone oil or gas is used to seal the retinotomies necessary to perform tumor's endoresection.…”
