ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: We described a patient with decreased vision due to circumscribed choroidal hemangioma and the patient was treated with transpupillary thermotherapy. METHODS: A 40-year-old male with circumscribed choroidal hemangioma combined with serous retinal detachment involving macula was managed by 2 sessions of transpupillary thermotherapy with 810 mm infrared diode laser. RESULTS: Improvement of central visual acuity, atrophy of circumscribed choroidal hemangioma and reabsorption of serous retinal detachment were observed without any complication during 6 months follow up period after 2 sessions of transpupillary thermotherapy. CONCLUSIONS: Transpupillary thermotherapy is a safer and alternatively effective treatment in circumscribed choroidal hemangioma with serous retinal detachment rather than ordinary photocoagulation or radiotherapy.
