    Perforating diathermy coagulation effectively destroys large retinal angiomas. This study details techniques, precautions, and complications for treating these vascular malformations in five patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Vascular Surgery

    Background:

    • Large retinal angiomas (greater than 5 disc diameters) pose treatment challenges.
    • Various retinal diseases can be associated with significant angioma formation.

    Observation:

    • Five patients with large retinal angiomas underwent treatment using perforating diathermy coagulation.
    • Follow-up ranged from 1.5 to 7 years, with one early mortality.

    Findings:

    • Perforating diathermy coagulation demonstrated efficiency in destroying large retinal angiomas.
    • The study describes multiple perforating diathermy techniques for retinal angioma treatment.

    Implications:

    • This technique offers a viable option for managing extensive retinal angiomas.
