Circumscribed choroidal hemangioma, a benign eye tumor, often causes vision loss due to fluid buildup. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are crucial for better visual outcomes in patients.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Circumscribed choroidal hemangioma is a rare, benign vascular tumor.
  • It presents as an orange-red mass in the posterior eye, often causing serous retinal detachment and vision decrease.
  • Misdiagnosis as choroidal melanoma or metastasis is common due to diagnostic challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diagnostic challenges and management strategies for circumscribed choroidal hemangioma.
  • To highlight factors influencing long-term visual prognosis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of diagnostic modalities including ultrasonography, fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, and MRI.
  • Discussion of treatment options: observation, photodynamic therapy, laser photocoagulation, transpupillary thermotherapy, and radiotherapy.

  • Analysis of prognostic factors for visual outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • Ancillary tests aid in differentiating choroidal hemangioma from simulating lesions.
    • Treatment is indicated for visually threatening or impairing lesions.
    • Radiotherapy is an option for treatment-resistant cases or extensive detachment.

    Conclusions:

    • Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management are essential for preserving vision.
    • Factors like delayed treatment, poor initial visual acuity, and chronic retinal changes correlate with unfavorable long-term vision.
