Abstract:
The case report of a 35-year-old woman suffering from Hippel-Lindau syndrome (VHL) with retinal hemangiomas is presented. The patient developed macular edema with loss of vision and metamorphopsia. Laser treatment of hemangiomas improved the clinical picture. Hemangiomas were visualized using fluorescein angiography and optical coherence angiography. To our knowledge we describe retinal hemangiomas in VHL disease with the optical coherence tomographical angiography (OCTA) for the first time.
Conclusion:
OCTA is suitable as a new non-invasive method to visualize retinal hemangioma without intravenous contrast agent.
