- 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 fluorescein angiography findings are: 1. Early hyperfluorescence due to its rich intrinsic vascularity and often has dilated feeding arterioles and draining venules. 2. Marked progressive leakage from the tumor vessels. 3. The late leakage often obscures fine vascular details in the late phase and corresponds to exudation and macular edema seen clinically. 4. Staining of surrounding exudates, RPE disturbances and gliosis. 5. In our case also a marked peripheral capillary closure in the areas adjacent to the tumor and in other quadrants as well.
