Optical coherence tomography visualization of posterior vitreous membrane adhesion in uncomplicated solitary retinal astrocytic hamartoma

چکیده
Introduction Retinal astrocytic hamartomas are benign tumors of the retinal nerve fiber layer with a characteristic appearance on ophthalmoscopic examination. Although these lesions may be found in isolation without systemic involvement, they usually occur in association with tuberous sclerosis. To our knowledge, there are few reports presenting optical coherence tomography(OCT)findings of vitreoretinalinterface changes associated with this tumor 4, 6. Herein, we describe a case of uncomplicated solitary retinal astrocytic hamartoma and OCT examination findings.

CLINICAL CASE This report is based on the case of a 35-year-old woman who developed a combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium in her right eye. The diagnosis was determined based on the fundus examination: hyperplasia of the retinal pigment epithelium cells, tortuosity of the vessels and epiretinal membrane. DISCUSSION Optical coherence tomography and retinal angiograp...

متن کاملBilateral presumed astrocytic hamartomas in a patient with retinitis pigmentosa
Retinal astrocytic hamartomas are benign intraocular tumors classically associated with phacomatoses. Their appearance in isolation is rare. An association between astrocytic hamartomas and retinitis pigmentosa (RP) has been described previously, but controversy still exists regarding the precise nature of these lesions in RP patients. The authors present a case report of a 24-year-old male wit...
