title: [Choroidal hemangioma and epiretinal membrane].
abstract: Choroidal hemangiomas are benign vascular hamartomas developed from birth, but undetected until the 4th and 5th decade. They have been seldom described in association with epiretinal membranes. Here we present a patient with associated pathology choroidal hemangioma with atypical fluorescein angiography pattern, undetected on ocular echography hence the difficulties in establishing a positive diagnosis and epiretinal membrane observed both clinically and on fluorescein angiography. Visual acuity is impaired by cystoid macular edema, with a complicated pathogenetic mechanism.
