Vasoproliferative retinal tumours in a Swedish population
Acta Ophthalmologica, 11/06/09

Makdoumi K et al. – VPRTs are benign intraretinal changes. Several complications are associated with this condition. All patients in this study had symptom–giving tumours and six patients already had profound macular oedema at presentation. In these cases, when complications have already developed, the final visual prognosis is poor, thereby making it important to detect these tumours early. The patient who received anti–vascular endothelial growth factor therapy showed a slow improvement and distinct regression in exudations during the follow–up time. However, no increase in visual acuity was seen.
