Multimodal imaging in the diagnosis of exophytic juxtapapillary retinal capillary hemangioblastoma
American Journal of Ophthalmology Jan 15, 2021
Russell JF, Villegas VM, Schwartz SG, et al. - Researchers conducted this retrospective case series to explore the value of multimodal imaging to assist in the diagnosis of exophytic juxtapapillary retinal capillary hemangioblastoma (JRCH). Between January 2013 and December 2019, medical records and multimodal imaging studies were reviewed on all patients diagnosed with retinal capillary hemangioblastoma at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute. Exophytic JRCH was identified in 12 patients. Choroidal neovascularization and neuroretinitis were the most common referral diagnoses. A key to precise diagnosis of exophytic JRCH is its intraretinal location, usually involving the outer retinal layers, resulting in a clinical appearance that is distinct from the more common and easily recognizable endophytic RCH. Multimodal imaging may help to rule out choroidal neovascularization and disc edema by displaying the lack of involvement of those structures.
