Abstract
- Juxtapapillary retinal capillary hemangiomas are sight-threatening hamartomas located on or adjacent to the optic nerve. Nonsurgical approaches including laser photocoagulation and cryotherapy have been shown to be effective to reduce exudation in peripheral hemangiomas. However, in juxtapapillary hemangiomas, the functional outcomes are limited due to associated potential damage of the retinal nerve fiber layer. We present an 18-year-old female patient with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease who presented with a juxtapapillary retinal capillary hemangioma associated with a tractional epiretinal membrane (ERM) and secondary macular hole. After vitrectomy-assisted excision of the lesion and inner limiting membrane (ILM) peeling around the macular hole, visual acuity and macular anatomy were recovered at 10 months of follow-up.
