Cavernous hemangioma of the retina
D. M. Colvard, D. M. Robertson and J. C. Trautmann
Cavernous hemangioma of the retina is recognized as a distinct clinical
entity. Although neurocutaneous findings are sometimes associated with
these retinal tumors, in most of the cases reported to date, systemic
features have not been described. This report describes two patients with
cavernous hemangioma of the retina. One had neurologic symptoms and signs
that were highly suggestive of a hemangioma of the brain stem, and the
other had major congenital cardiovascular anomalies. During a five-year
interval, the second patient had spontaneous incomplete sclerosis of the
retinal hemangioma.
