title: [Treatment of choroidal hemangioma].
abstract: Eight (8) cases of choroidal hemangioma, comprising 6 of the solitary type and 2 of the diffuse type, were treated with Argon laser, including 2 cases in combination with cryotherapy. The success rate was 76.5%, with visual acuity improved in 75% of them during an average follow-up of 11.7 months. Tumors with much subretinal fluid were first given cryosurgery before Argon laser treatment for good synergic therapeutic effects.
