PURPOSE: Retinal capillary hemangioma, often associated with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, is not characteristically seen in other conditions. We report a patient with Marshall-Stickler syndrome who had a retinal capillary hemangioma. METHOD: A 31-year-old man with Marshall-Stickler syndrome was evaluated for a retinal vascular tumor. RESULTS: Evaluation showed a retinal capillary hemangioma of the von Hippel type. Magnetic resonance imaging disclosed no tumors of brain, kidney, or other organs. The retinal tumor was treated with cryotherapy. CONCLUSION: Retinal capillary hemangioma is not pathognomonic of von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, and it may be associated with the Marshall-Stickler syndrome. |
