The purpose of the study is to report a case of peripheral exudative hemorrhagic chorioretinopathy (PEHCR), managed surgically with favorable visual outcome. A 66-year-old female presented with painless visual loss due to dense vitreous and subretinal hemorrhage extending from the far periphery to the macula. Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with subretinal tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) injection was performed resulting in good anatomical and visual outcome.

Article Synopsis
  • A 22-year-old female with a history of bilateral congenital glaucoma was found to have a juxtapapillary retinal capillary hemangioblastoma and an old retinal vein occlusion.

  • The patient's tests confirmed VHL syndrome and also indicated a severe large brainstem hemangioblastoma, marking a new association between VHL and congenital glaucoma or retinal venous occlusion.
