摘要

We present a case of Retinal Cavernous Haemangioma treated with Intravitreal Bevacizumab, which was initially labelled as persistent proliferative diabetic retinopathy with multiple episodes of vitreous haemorrhage. These lesions can be confused with new retinal vessels in diabetics and if correctly diagnosed unnecessary photocoagulation can be avoided. Our patient received a course of three intravitreal Bevacizumab injections (1.25 mg/0.05 ml) in order to stop the leakage from the retinal cavernous haemangioma lesions and prevent another episode of vitreous haemorrhage. No intraoperative or postoperative complications were seen. Twenty-two months following treatment there was no recurrence of vitreous haemorrhage.
