Cavernous hemangioma of the retina in a pediatric patient.
A 4-year-old girl had a cavernous hemangioma of the retina in the right eye. A vitreous hemorrhage associated with this lesion caused amblyopic exotropia. Although this lesion has been considered harmless, it may cause visual impairment in the pediatric patients.
