Management of Vasoproliferative Tumors of the Retina with Macular Complications by Pars Plana Vitrectomy Combined with Episcleral Cryotherapy

Left eye of a 31-year-old man with vasoproliferative tumor of the retina (Case 10): Fundus photograph: (a) before treatments, the macular hole with the size of 1/2 optic disc diameter (PD) could be seen in the macula. A yellow globular pale mass sized 5 PD was located in the inferior temporal periphery. The mass was connected with feeder vessels and was surrounded by laser spots. (b) Three months after cryotherapy, the tumor was depauperate with the occluded feeder vessels. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT): (c) before treatments, the epimacular membrane and an IV macular hole with a size of 361 μm313 μm could be seen. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 1 logMAR. (d) Three months after treatments, the morphology of the macula was improved. The central retinal thickness was 125 μm. The BCVA was 0.8 logMAR.
