Purpose:
To describe a case of bilateral choroidal vascular malformations in a patient with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia.
Methods:
Case report.
Results:
A 78-year-old man with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia was incidentally noted to have focal, large deep choroidal vessels on optical coherence tomography with corresponding elevation of the overlying retina. Indocyanine green angiography revealed dilated, intensely fluorescent vessels in arterial phase emptying into massively dilated choroidal veins consistent with choroidal arteriovenous malformation.
Conclusion:
This case presents multimodal imaging findings of choroidal arteriovenous malformations in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. Choroidal vascular malformations may represent an underrecognized clinical feature of this syndrome.

The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...
