RESUMO
Juxtapapillary capillary hemangioma (JCH) is a vascular hamartoma. Fluorescein fundus angiography aids in diagnosis. The vascular morphology of this tumor has not been documented with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), a new, noninvasive diagnostic modality that provides high-resolution images of vascular pattern based on blood flow in the retina and choroid. Although mainly a clinical diagnosis, OCTA helps in studying the intrinsic vascularity of the tumor and helps in differentiating it from other vascular tumors. The authors report the case of a young male with unilateral solitary JCH and its microvascular pattern, as seen on OCTA. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2017;48:592-595.].
