- •Preface
- •1: Development of the Retina
- •1.1 To suppose that the eye . . . could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd . . .1
- •1.2 Good order is the foundation of all things2
- •1.3 All that you touch you Change. All that Change Changes you3
- •1.4 Men are born with two eyes, but only one tongue, in order that they should see twice as much as they say4
- •1.7 More than Meets the Optic Vesicle6
- •1.9 Focusing on the Fovea: A Marvel of Development
- •1.10 Nature and Books belong to the eyes that see them7

7.7.3 Overview with Clinical Significance
Retinal cavernous hemangioma generally does not require treatment because these lesions are relatively stable with rare complications. Photocoagulation or cryotherapy has been tried with little proven benefit [221]. Nonclearing vitreous hemorrhage can be treated with vitrectomy.

7.7.4 Genetics
Familial cavernous hemangioma is caused by one of three genes. Mutations in CCM1 on chromosome 7q11.2–q21, CCM2 on 7p13, and CCM3 on 3q26 have been identified.
7.7.5 Incidence
Cavernous hemangioma of the retina and optic disk is extremely rare. The exact incidence of this condition is unknown.
7.7.6 Natural History and Prognosis
Retinal cavernous hemangioma is a relatively stable tumor with low risks of progression. Visual loss can occur with worsening of the associated epiretinal membrane. Vitreous hemorrhage is the most common cause of visual loss.
7.7.7 Signs and Symptoms
7.7.7.1 Ocular Findings
Retinal cavernous hemangioma is characterized by grape-like clusters of blood-filled saccular spaces in the inner layer of the retina or on the surface of the optic
disk (Fig. 7.11). The size and location of the lesion is variable. The red blood cells may sediment and separate from plasma as a result of sluggish blood flow, giving rise to fluid levels within the lesion. This phenomenon has been referred to as a “pseudohypopyon” and is best seen on the fluorescence angiography. Often, these lesions are covered by epiretinal membrane. Retinal cavernous hemangiomas are mostly nonprogressive and asymptomatic. Visual loss may occur when lesions involve the macula, and has been reported in approximately 10% of cases. Spontaneous thrombosis and hemorrhage are rare complications [221]. Cavernous hemangioma is one of the conditions that can cause simultaneous subretinal, intraretinal, and preretinal hemorrhage. In contrast to RCH, prominent feeder vessels and subretinal or intraretinal exudation is absent in retinal cavernous hemangioma.
7.7.7.2 Systemic Findings
Cutaneous Lesions
A variety of cutaneous lesions have been associated with retinal cavernous hemangioma. Patients most commonly present with cutaneous capillary malformations. However, angiomas serpiginosum, a progressive condition with wide-spread dilation of the subpapillary venous plexuses, have been reported [225].
Central nervous system cavernous hemangioma may involve any part the CNS, but are most commonly located in the supratentorial region. Seizure and progressive focal neurologic deficits are common
