| Abstract |
|
The purpose of the study is to describe the cases with prepapillary or peripapillary vascular malformation who have experienced mild vitreous hemorrhage. Five patients [5 eyes], 1 male and 4 females, were included in the study.The vascular malformation was unilaterally present in all patients.Vitreous hemorrhage occurred from the area of retinal vascular malformation near or on the optic nerve, and cleared without further complications. Fluorescein angiographic feature of each eye was normal. Arteriovenous communication, secondary retinal exudation, or vascular leakage from vascular malformation was not observed. Each patient showed improvement in visual acuity of 2 lines or more. This benign, congenital vascular malformation may be non-progressive and infrequently cause mild vitreous hemorrhage.Therapeutic intervention was not necessary in these cases. |
