Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Cavernous hemangioma of the optic disc and retina is a vascular hamartoma composed of clusters of thin-walled saccular aneurysms partially filled with dark venous blood. It is now considered a neuro-oculo-cutaneous syndrome whose mode of inheritance is probably autosomal dominant. This report describes a cavernous hemangioma of the optic disc in a patient without skin or neurological findings. Its clinical appearance, generally benign ocular nature, and occasional association with central nervous system or cutaneous lesions is emphasized. |
