Abstract:
Optic disc hemangioma is very uncommon and may be presented as a part of angiomatosis retinae or itself as an isolated entity. The authors have experienced a case of bilateral optic disc hemangiomas with the juxtapaillary retinal involvement in 32 years old male. At his first visit, visual acuity was 0.5 in the right eye and 0.08 in the left eye. Ophthalmoscopic examination of both eyes revealed reddish-yellow, spherical, highly vascularized tumors, measuring 1.5 disc diameter in the right eye and 2.0 disc diameter in the left eye, located in the temporal portion of the disc and its adjacent retina and the exudative retinal detachments around the tumors were also noted. The fluorescein angiograms showed the rapid filling of the tumors in early arterial phase and diffuse leakage of fluorescein into the subretinal space and surrounding tissue in the late phase. The authors report this case with the review of the literature.
