[Macular syndrome in choroidal cavernous hemangioma: the role of laser treatment].

On the basis of a series of case with natural history of choroidal cavernous hemangioma (21 cases with follow-up of up to 13 years) the authors suggest a classification of macular syndromes (types I, II and III) in choroidal cavernous hemangioma. They also suggest that partial barrage of the tumor can be sufficient to arrest or prevent further V.A. impairment.
