Choroidal hemangioma

What it means

Benign choroidal tumour, seen in the fundus as a reddish or orange choroidal lesion and usually associated with cystoid edema, and less commonly with Subretinal fluid.

Choroidal hemangiomas can cause hyperopia or other visual symptoms such as blurred or distorted vision. Some choroidal hemangiomas are asymptomatic, and only diagnosed after angiography. Diffuse choroidal hemangioma is seen associated with Sturge-Weber syndrome.
