Retinal cavernous hemangioma associated with cerebral cavernous malformations in a 6-year-old child

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: An otherwise-healthy 6-year-old girl was referred to the retina service for evaluation of a left inferior retinal hemorrhage, initially suspicious for branch vascular occlusion. Fundus photography showed left inferior perivenous dilated saccular vascular lesions along the inferior arcade (Fig. A), which could mimic retinal hemorrhages. Fluorescein angiogram highlighted these lesions as saccular hyperfluorescent foci in the early phase (Fig. B), with no associated leakage in the late phase (Fig. C).
