Recurrent Vitreous Hemorrhages due to Combined Pigment Epithelial and Retinal Hamartoma: Natural Course and Indocyanine Green Angiographic Findings

We report the clinical and angiographic features as well as the natural course of an optic disk and juxtapapillary combined pigment epithelial and retinal hamartoma in a 23-year-old white girl. The patient presented 3 episodes of recurrent vitreous hemorrhages in the first 4 years of follow-up, which were spontaneously and totally absorbed. During the last 6 years, she was absolutely free of any ocular symptom. The tumor did not show any growth during the 10 years of follow-up. The digital indocyanine green angiography, which was normal in the early frames, revealed a mild, patchy hyperfluorescence corresponding to the tumor location in the late phase.
