Diffuse choroidal hemangioma (DCH), a feature of Sturge-Weber syndrome, is most often treated with whole-eye radiotherapy at stage of complications such as retinal detachment.
This is a case report of a 17-year-old boy with DCH and exudative retinal detachment.
The patient was treated with propranolol at 60 mg twice a day for 2 months followed by gradual dose taper to 10 mg twice a day per month and discontinued at 7 months. The retinal detachment slowly resolved over 1 month and the retina remained attached at 10 months follow-up. There were no medication side effects.
We suggest that oral propranolol be considered in the armamentarium for selected DCH.
弥漫性脉络膜血管瘤(DCH)是斯-韦综合征的一个特征,在出现视网膜脱离等并发症阶段,最常采用全眼放疗进行治疗。
本文是一例患有弥漫性脉络膜血管瘤和渗出性视网膜脱离的17岁男孩的病例报告。
该患者接受普萘洛尔治疗,初始剂量为60毫克,每日两次,持续2个月,随后每月逐渐减量至每日两次,每次10毫克,并在7个月时停药。视网膜脱离在1个月内缓慢消退,在10个月的随访中视网膜保持附着状态。未出现药物副作用。
我们建议,对于特定的弥漫性脉络膜血管瘤患者,可考虑将口服普萘洛尔纳入治疗手段。
