Vasoproliferative Retinal Tumors: Manifestations, Management, and Outcomes in a Case Series.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Vasoproliferative retinal tumors (VPRTs) are rare, benign retinal lesions characterized by abnormal vascular proliferation. They may appear sporadically or with systemic conditions like von Hippel-Lindau disease, often resembling other retinal lesions and posing diagnostic challenges. VPRTs can lead to vision loss if not adequately managed. Current management ranges from observation to different treatment strategies, from laser photocoagulation, photodynamic therapy, cryotherapy to intravitreal injections and vitrectomy. However, optimal approach is still debated due to VPRTs' rarity and varied presentations.

Case presentations
