Abstract
Case report

A 34 year-old man presented with progressive visual loss in his right eye. Ocular fundus showed a vasoproliferative tumor in the peripheral retina with an associated epiretinal macular membrane. Angiography showed a rapid filling of tumor vessels. The treatment consisted of laser photocoagulation and a single injection of intravitreal ranibizumab. After 8 weeks, there was a residual area of fibrosis, the posterior hyaloid was detached, and the epiretinal membrane disappeared. Visual acuity returned to 20/25.

Discussion

Laser photocoagulation and intravitreal ranibizumab combination could be useful for vasoproliferative tumors.

Keywords:
Vasoproliferative tumors
Neovascularization
Epiretinal membrane
