Case Reports: The clinical characteristics of three patients with circumscribed choroidal haemangioma and subfoveal exudation detected by optical coherence tomography are described in this paper. The three patients were successfully treated with photodynamic therapy.
Discussion: Photodynamic therapy is the most adequate therapeutic option for circumscribed choroidal hemangioma associated with subfoveal exudation. Some questions such as whether attempts should be made to obtain a complete tumour regression, laser settings or the way the spots must be applied remain unresolved.

Because of its benign nature and rarity, circumscribed choroidal hemangioma (CCH) often receives limited attention, leading to a high rate of misdiagnosis and a lack of standardized treatment protocols. We provide a thorough clarification of the demographics, clinical features, diagnosis, management, and prognosis of CCH. We conducted a systematic search of the PubMed, EMBASE, and Ovid databases up to December, 2023, to identify relevant studies.

The aim of the study was todescribe the clinical features, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging in patients with choroidal and retinal tumors. Ninety eyes of 89 patients with treatment-naive macular, midperipheral, and juxtapapillary choroidal and retinal tumors were retrospectively included in the study. All patients underwent a complete ophthalmic examination, B-mode ultrasonography, OCT, and FAF imaging.

Purpose: To examine propranolol efficacy in treating diffuse (DCH) and circumscribed choroidal hemangiomas (CCH) and controlling intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS).
Methods: A SWS patient case treated with propranolol for DCH is presented. Following PRISMA guidelines, we also performed a systematic review using PubMed/Web of Science, analyzing 14 studies detailing propranolol treatment outcomes for DCH, CCH, and IOP control in SWS.

Purpose: To investigate the use of intravitreal bevacizumab for the treatment of subretinal (SRF) and intraretinal fluid associated with circumscribed choroidal haemangiomas (CCH).
Methods: This was a retrospective review of all patients treated with at least 3 bevacizumab injections for CCH-associated SRF between May 2020 and August 2023 in Moorfields eye hospital. Outcome measures included change in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), change in patient reported symptoms, change in SRF and change in central subfield thickness (CSFT).
