Subretinal Triamcinolone Acetonide and Transpupillary Thermotherapy in Circumscribed Choroidal Hemangioma. A Case Report
Subretinal Triamcinolone Acetonide and Transpupillary Thermotherapy in Circumscribed Choroidal Hemangioma. A Case Report
Purpose: To evaluate the potential use of a combination of subretinal triamcinolone acetonide (TA) injection with transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) in the treatment of circumscribed choroidal hemangioma (CCH) with exudative retinal detachment.
Case report: The clinical case of a 27-year-old patient demonstrates the treatment of CCH with exudative retinal detachment. We used a combination of subretinal injection of 4 mg preservative-free TA with the simultaneous partial aspiration of subretinal fluid in the first stage. After one week, when the retina was fully attached, TTT of CCH was used in the second stage. At Month 12, visual acuity in the left eye increased from light perception with projection to 20/400. Ultrasonography did not reveal any signs of choroidal masses or retinal detachment. During the follow-up period, 3 sessions of TTT were performed.
Conclusion: A combination of subretinal TA injection with TTT can be an alternative treatment for CCH with exudative retinal detachment.
