- Description
- We present a case of a 33-year-old male patient, who presented with decreased visual acuity in his right eye with 20/80, presenting a primary retinal vasoproliferative tumor in the lower temporal quadrant. The tumor is associated with serous retinal detachment, hard exudation, neovascularization and telangiectasias. Lipid exudates extend toward the macula, indicating macular involvement, which may contribute to decreased visual acuity. Oi was normal with 20/20 of BCVA. The patient was treated initially with IV anti-VEGF therapy and cryotherapy.
