- Clinical features:
- Symptoms:
- Small-sized tumor mostly asymptomatic or cause mild ocular
irritation
- Spontaneous bleeding or bloody tears.
- Signs:
- Benign, slowly progressive, bright red patch of vessels
with sometimes ill-defined margins
- Typically rounded, nodular, polypoid or lobulated, may grow
and reach an enormous size of mass
- May be found as an isolated lesion or associated with other
ocular capillary hemangiomas or systemic diseases such as
Sturge-Weber syndrome
- Multiple or multi focalized hemangiomas are usually independent
and separated from one another with little connection with
the surrounding vessels.
- Management:
- Observation for increase in size, number of lesions, and morphological
changes.
- Surgical excision, electrolysis and thermocoagulation have been
used with success.
