Abstract

Abstract

Background: Retinal cavernous hemangiomas are rare, benign vascular tumors usually encountered incidentally on routine examination. Although usually asymptomatic, complications have been reported and can result in vision loss. Ancillary imaging modalities such as fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography, and optical coherence tomography angiography provide valuable information about the lesion and possible associated findings. Case Report: A 66-year-old Caucasian female presented to the clinic for a comprehensive exam with mild blurry vision in both eyes with current spectacles. Her ocular history was remarkable for a retinal cavernous hemangioma along the superior-temporal arcade of the left eye. Dilated fundus exam revealed a subretinal hemorrhage under the cavernous hemangioma. Multimodal imaging included OCT, OCT-A, and a DRS fundus photo. Conclusion: In this case report, we will describe the development of a mild subretinal hemorrhage associated with a retinal cavernous hemangioma; a complication that is rarely reported.
