Evaluation of Choroidal Hemangioma and Treatment With Photodynamic Therapy by Using Enhanced Depth Imaging Optical Coherence Tomography

Diagnosis of circumscribed choroidal hemangioma could be challenging in some patients. The classical features of orange colored mass on fundus examination, acoustic solidity and high internal reflectivity on B- and A-scan ultrasonography, and late “wash-out” hypofluorescence on the late phase of indocyanine green angiography might not be enough for diagnosis. In a review of 200 circumscribed choroidal hemangiomas, Shields et al. reported that 38% of cases were initially diagnosed as choroidal melanoma or metastasis before referral to the ocular oncology center.1With axial resolution up to 5
