Juxtapapillary retinal capillary haemangiomas are rare benign vascular tumors located adjacent to the optic disc. They may occur sporadically or in association with von Hippel-Lindau disease. Treatment modalities for juxtapapillary retinal capillary haemangiomas vary from observation to aggressive vitreoretinal surgery. A combination of different treatment modalities is often tried with modest success. We report a patient diagnosed with right-sided juxtapapillary retinal capillary haemangioma at the age of 36 in an amblyopic eye previously treated with patching and surgery. In 2013, at the age of 45 he presented with increasing shadow in his right visual field. The ophthalmological examination revealed a right-sided subtotal serous retinal detachment with 6.2×5.6×3.5 mm juxtapapilllary retinal capillary haemangioma and visual acuity of hand movements. He underwent vitreoretinal surgery, radiation of juxtapapillary retinal capillary haemangioma with intraocular strontium applicator and insertion of silicone oil, all in one session. We describe a novel treatment, the intraocular radiation with strontium. This can be applied in complicated cases where vitrectomy is necessary. |
