Purpose:
To report a 4-year-old boy with a large, macula-involving combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium (CHRRPE) lesion with an associated choroidal neovascular membrane involving the fovea, characterized with multimodal imaging.
Methods:
Case report.
Results:
Given the low likelihood of visual improvement with intervention, observation was recommended and the CHRRPE remained stable on follow-up 4 months after presentation.
Conclusion:
CHRRPE is a rare congenital retinal lesion that is variably pigmented. Awareness of rare complications, such as CNVM, as seen in this pediatric case is paramount.
