| Summary: | Retinal cavernous hemangioma is a rare benign tumor. We report a case of branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) and spontaneous vitreous hemorrhage in cavernous hemangioma of the optic disc. Fundus examination showed superotemporal BRAO with grape-like clusters of aneurysmal dilatations on the optic disc. Fundus fluorescein angiography revealed the absence of vascular leakage in late phase. Surgical management included vitrectomy along with intravitreal antivascular endothelial growth factor injection and endolaser. Regression of hemangioma and resolution of BRAO was noted at 1 month postoperatively. Previous reports suggest that asymptomatic lesions should be observed, while persistent hemorrhages should be managed by vitrectomy. |
