Abstract

Hypericin-enhanced argon laser photocoagulation of retinal capillary hemangioma Retinal capillary hemangioma is commonly observed in von Hippel-Lindau disease, however it may also occur sporadically. Argon laser photocoagulation enhanced firstly by oral and later by intravenous hypericin was applied to a case of retinal capillary hemangioma after an unsuccessful trial of argon laser photocoagulation alone. Exudation around the lesion decreased and fibrotic component of the lesion increased, and visual acuity reached to 0.9 after treatment. We conclude that argon laser photocoagulation enhanced by hypericin may be a successful choice of treatment in retinal capillary hemangiomas.

Özet

Retinal kapiller hemanjiyom, yaygın olarak von Hippel-Lindau hastalığında (VHL) görülür, ancak sporadik olarak da karşılaşılabilir. Retinal kapiller hemanjiyom nedeniyle argon lazer fotokoagülasyon uygulanan hastada yeterli yanıt alınamaması üzerine önce oral, daha sonra intravenöz hiperisin ile güçlendirilmiş argon lazer fotokoagülasyon uygulandı. Tedavi sonrası lezyon çevresindeki eksüdasyonda azalma ve lezyonun fibrotik komponentinde artış saptanırken, görme keskinliği 0.9 seviyesine yükseldi. Hiperisin ile güçlendirilmiş lazer fotokoagülasyon uygulamasının retinal kapiller hemanjiyomlara yaklaşımda başarılı bir tedavi seçeneği olabileceği kanısına varılmıştır.
