Imaging results (color fundus photography, FFA and OCT) of the patient at initial presentation. a Fundus photograph of the right eye showing juxtapapillary retinal capillary hemangioma, measured 2.0 × 1.5 mm, located inferotemporal to the optic disc. b Fundus fluorescein angiography demonstrating hyperflourescence of the lesion as well as late leakage into submacular space. c OCT (horizontal 5-mm scan across the fovea) showing macular detachment secondary to vitreomacular traction

Imaging results (color fundus photography and FFA) of the patient after combined treatment with injection of ranibizumab, PDT, and intravitreal surgery. a Day 1 after combined intravitreal ranibizumab injection and PDT, showing regression of the tumor as well as marked decrease in vascularity and exudation. b Post-operative (month 2) fundus photograph showing relief of traction on the macula after removal of the epiretinal membrane and reduction in size of the angioma. A peripheral branch retinal vein occlusion (white arrows) resulted from a small iatrogenic break. c Late phase of fundus flourescein angiography (month 12) showing staining of the lesion with minimal leakage
