Abstract

PAREJA, J. et al. Juxtapapilar capillary hemangioma and central serous retinopathy: description of a case with spontaneous resolution. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2006, vol.81, n.6, pp.337-340. ISSN 0365-6691.

Case report: A patient presented with a unilateral decrease of visual acuity and was found to have a juxtapapillary capillary hemangioma by ophthalmoscopy (confirmed by fluorescein angiography) and atrophy in the retinal pigmentary epithelium with leakage points suggesting bilateral central serous retinopathy. Spontaneous resolution of the hemangioma, as well as the central serous retinopathy, subsequently occurred. Discussion: The decrease of visual acuity in a patient with a juxtapapillary capillary hemangioma has been associated with complications from the lesion itself, but an association of central serous retinopathy, as a possible predisposing factor, has not been previously described.

Keywords : Juxtapapillary capillary hemangioma; central serous retinopathy; spontaneous resolution; decrease in visual acuity; complications.
