Abstract:
PURPOSE: The authors of the present case report observed a bilateral retinal racemose hemangioma which was located within the peripapillary area. CASE SUMMARY: A 17-year-old man presented with floaters in both eyes. Fundus revealed tortuous and anastomosed retinal vasculature around the optic disc. In addition, fluorescein angiography showed a non-leaking retinal arteriovenous anastomosis. Seven years after the initial visit, vitreous hemorrhage occurred in the patient's left eye, and then 1 year later, subretinal hemorrhage was found in his left eye. CONCLUSIONS: Because retinal racemose hemangioma can accompany vitreous hemorrhage and subretinal hemorrhage regardless of size, a routine periodic ophthalmic examination is recommended.
