title: Cavernous hemangioma of the retina.
abstract: This paper presents an example of a rare clinical entity, a cavernous hemangioma of the retina, with emphasis on the difficulty in differential diagnosis. Relationships with systemic disorders are emphasized. Clinico-pathological schematic drawings accompany photographs to emphasize the importance of differentiating cavernous hemangiomas from retinal telangiectasia, capillary hemangioma and racemose hemangioma. Management of the cavernous hemangioma is routine follow-up examinations and assurance that there are no systemic abnormalities.
