Abstract
Choroidal hemangiomas are rare, congenital, benign vascular tumors of the choroid that have a wide range of symptomatology, signs, associated systemic features, clinical course and treatment options. There are two types of choroidal hemangiomas: circumscribed and diffuse. Circumscribed choroidal hemangiomas are usually small with a mean diameter of 7 mm, located in the posterior choroid within 3 mm of the foveola and occasionally in the subfovea. The subfoveal tumors tend to cause visual loss early in life due to the anterior displacement of the retina by the underlying tumor. Patients with parafoveal tumors remain asymptomatic until the 3rd or 4th decade of life. External ocular exam in these patients is usually unremarkable.
