Retinal vasoproliferative tumor is an uncommon benign vascular tumor that most often occurs sporadically. Vision loss can occur secondary to retinal fibrosis, subretinal exudation, and neovascular glaucoma. This report describes a functionally monocular patient with neurofibromatosis type 1 who had a vasoproliferative tumor with neovascularization of the iris that was successfully treated with intravitreal bevacizumab and cryotherapy.
