Circumscribed choroidal hemangioma (CCH) is a rare congenital ocular tumor type that is usually benign and asymptomatic. CCH has only been reported once previously in the literature in association with a visceral neoplasm. Here, we present a newly described association between CCH and hepatic hemangioma (HH). We report the case of a 57-year-old woman diagnosed with asymptomatic HHs who presented with a 2- to 3-month history of central scotoma and blurred vision in her left eye. Assessment identified an orange-red elevated lesion with a central serous retinal detachment and subretinal edema. Complementary tests suggested a CCH. To our knowledge, CCH has only been reported once previously in association with a visceral neoplasm, making this newly described association between CCH and HH of clinical relevance. Ophthalmologists should be aware of the possible association between CCH and other visceral tumors as this association offers an opportunity for the early detection of this pathology.

Abstract Introduction. Preeclampsia presents a medical condition in pregnancy that is manifested with increased blood pressure and protein urine. Ocular involvement is rare. Retinal detachment in preeclampsia is a rare complication; it only occurs in 1-2% of severe preeclampsia but in 10% of those with eclamptic seizures. Case report. A pregnant patient G1P0 visited the outpatient clinic of the University Clinic for Ophthalmology complaining on visual disturbances. The chief complaint was blurred vision and headaches. She was in 31 week of gestation and complained that she had increased blood pressure over the last month. After initial assessment she was suspected of central serous retinal ablation (CSCR). Ocular ultrasound and posterior segment OCT (optical coherence tomography) confirmed the diagnosis. Treatment and outcome. Obstetric examination confirmed high blood (TA180/130) pressure with dipstick urine showing(+++). Unfortunately, the ultrasound showed an eutrophic pregnancy in 31 g.w. with fetus mortus inutero. The patient was administered to the intensive care unit. She had an ophthalmologic check-upat 2 weeks and one month post-partum that showed regression and visual acuity was getting better. The final check-up after 6 months revealed that retina was in place with no subretinal substantial fluid and no macular edema. Conclusion. Serous retinal detachment is a rare complication of preeclampsia. In most case it resolves spontaneously few weeks post delivery.

Purpose: To report a case of a 20-year-old female with decreased visual acuity (VA) in the left eye (LE). Methods: This is a retrospective and descriptive case report based on data from clinical records, patient observation and analysis of diagnostic tests. Results: A 20-year-old female presented with decreased VA in the LE for 3 days. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/20 in the right eye (RE) and 20/40 in the LE. Pupillary function, intraocular pressure, results of external segment examinations and slit-lamp biomicroscopy were normal, bilaterally. RE fundoscopy was normal, and in the LE it revealed papillitis and posterior pole exudative retinal detachment. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) confirmed the macular serous retinal detachment and showed thickening of the posterior choroid also revealed by orbital ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Fluorescein angiography showed angiographic features typical of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease: disseminated spotted choroidal hyperfluorescence and choroidal multifocal hypofluorescence, multifocal profuse leakage in the retina with pooling, serous retinal detachment and optic disc hyperfluorescence. Serological testing for the diagnosis of infectious pathologies was negative, and the review of systems was normal. The patient received systemic steroids and cyclosporine. LE BCVA improved up to 20/20 at 18 months after the diagnosis, with complete reabsorption of subretinal fluid and normal retinal and choroidal thickness by OCT. Conclusion: Despite the unilateral involvement, the clinical and angiographic features were typical of VKH disease, and ophthalmologists should be aware to recognize this rare clinical variant of the disease.

A patient initially diagnosed as having central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) presented to a clinic with recurrence of pancreatic cancer manifesting as choroidal metastasis. He was initially diagnosed with CSC by a local ophthalmologist 8 weeks earlier and subsequently presented to our clinic for second opinion after further loss of vision. His medical history was significant for locally advanced pancreatic cancer that was resected by pancreaticoduodenectomy and was treated with adjuvant Folfirinox chemotherapy that was completed 12 months earlier. On examination, there was a large serous retinal detachment overlying a large pale ill-defined elevated choroidal lesion. A diagnosis of choroidal metastasis from recurrence of his pancreatic cancer was made. The diagnosis of choroidal metastasis of his pancreatic cancer represented recurrence of his pancreatic cancer that is associated with high mortality. Early recognition by clinical assessment may allow timely management with chemotherapy and radiation, and potentially prolong survival.
