Introduction. The interest are rare cases of a сircumscribed choroidal hemangioma located juxtapapillary (JP) on the nasal side of the optic nerve disc (OND) and complicated by macular edema. Purpose. Studying the possibility of timely diagnosis and evaluating the effectiveness of treatment of a сircumscribed choroidal hemangioma complicated by macular edema. Material and methods. A retrospective analysis of the diagnostics and treatment results of 5 patients (5 eyes) with JP сircumscribed choroidal hemangioma, localized on the nasal side of the optic disc, complicated by macular edema, was carried out. Results. As a result, in all patients, already 1 month after the session of selective laser transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT), an increase in visual acuity and quality was observed, which was accompanied by pronounced resorption of intraretinal cysts and / or subretinal fluid in the macula. Conclusion. The purposeful use of modern diagnostic methods and the use of a sparing method of laser TTT makes it possible to identify and cure patients with CPCH complicated by macular edema without loss of visual functions. Key words: сircumscribed choroidal hemangioma, selective transpupillary thermotherapy, cystic macular edema.
