The clinical features and curative effects of vasoproliferative retinal tumor

Abstract

Objective To visualize the clinical features and investigate the major treatments and clinical cu-rative effects of vasoproliferative retinal tumor. Methods In these retrospective case series, 21 patients (22 eyes) were selected who were diagnosed as vasoproliferative retinal tumor between October 2005 and February 2015. The patients manifested as hemorrhage before or in the retinal. The patients were treated by different surgeries on the bases of ocular examinations such as B ultra-scan and fundus fluorescein angiography. Results Patients who were treated by intravitreal injection, radiation application, retinal freezing, laser photocoagu-lation or vitrectomy gained less fundus exudation and contraction tumors, with efficiencies of 50.00%, 50.00%, 66.67%, 83.33% and 77.78% respectively. Among which the effective rate of laser photocoagulation and vitrectomy were apparently higher than other therapies. Conclusions Photocoagulation and vitrectomy are good for the regression of vasoproliferative retinal tumor and can be applied clinically.
