Purpose: To describe a cohort of patients with retinal vasoproliferative tumours (RVPT) seen in the uveitis clinic of a single tertiary eye care institute in India. Methods: Retrospective Chart Review Results: In our study of 17 patients with 18 eyes affected by RVPTs, 94.1% showed unilateral involvement, one patient had bilateral RVPTs, and another had two RVPTs in the same eye. The mean age was 36.3 ± 15.1 years (range: 12–63 years), with a male majority (76.4%). The most common location was inferotemporal quadrant (44.4%). The most common associated uveitic condition was intermediate uveitis (50%). Patients were treated with oral corticosteroid (in 94.1%) and immunosuppressive (35.2%) in addition to transconjunctival cryotherapy (in 52.9%) or laser photocoagulation (in 41.1%). Regression of the RVPT was achieved in all cases except one. Visual acuity at time of detection of RVPT ranged from 6/6 to HM. No significant change was noted in the mean best corrected visual acuity pre and post treatment in the study group. Conclusion: RVPTs, rare peripheral retinal lesions often associated with intermediate uveitis, require early diagnosis with targeted therapy to prevent vision loss and achieve favorable long-term outcomes with rare recurrences.
