Juxtapapillary Capillary Hemangioma with Spontaneous Regression: A Case Report and Literature Review

Abstract

A 14-year-old boy presented after having experienced five days of visual deterioration in his left eye. A week later, he experienced a further rapid loss of central vision in his left eye. An ocular examination revealed a swollen disc, adjacent serous retinal detachment involving the macula, and macular exudate. Fluorescein angiography revealed early hyperfluorescence and late pooling of the dye with leakage, at the superotemporal juxtapapillary region, producing serous retinal detachment. An MRI of the brain was normal. Spontaneous regression occurred and was complete by week 8. The final visual outcome, and fluorescein angiography confirmed the regression.
