Resumen
LOPEZ-QUERO, M.C. et al. Circumscribed choroidal hemangioma treated with photodynamic therapy. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2008, vol.83, n.9, pp.553-557. ISSN 0365-6691.
Clinical case: A 45-year-old male referred with a scotoma in the left eye of 2 months evolution. A peripapillary tumor was found, with a basal diameter of 7 mm and thickness 3.4 mm. It was diagnosed as a circumscribed choroidal hemangioma. It was decided to treat the patient using photodynamic therapy. After 4 sessions and 17 months follow-up, the patient remained asymptomatic and visual acuity was stable. There was evidence of subretinal fibrosis and no subretinal fluid was found. Discussion: Photodynamic therapy is a good option for the treatment of circumscribed choroidal hemangioma given the minimal damage is causes to the adjacent retina.
