Abstract |
Cavernous hemangioma of the retina is an unusual vascular hamartoma. It is recognized as a neuro-oculo-cutaneous syndrome. Association with systemic abnormalities is extremely rare. This report describes an 18-year-old man who presented with retinal cavernous hemangioma of the left eye and bilateral oculomotor palsies since early childhood. Cerebral angiography showed agenesis of the right internal carotid artery. Because of this unusual combination, we feel justified to report this case. |
