PURPOSE: To describe a case of exudative retinal capillary hemangioma treated with photodynamic therapy that resulted in an improvement in clinical appearance and visual acuity. DESIGN: Interventional case report. METHODS: A 55-year-old Asian man presented with a large exudative peripheral retinal capillary hemangioma of the left eye causing serous retinal detachment, cystoid macular edema, and a best-corrected visual acuity of 20/200. The hemangioma was treated with three successive sessions of verteporfin photodynamic therapy (PDT). RESULTS: With 10 months of follow-up after the initial treatment, involution of the hemangioma, reduction of subretinal fluid, and improvement of best-corrected visual acuity to 20/80 was seen. CONCLUSION: Photodynamic therapy may be an effective treatment option in select cases of exudative retinal capillary hemangioma.
The perinephric spaces consist of the subcapsular, perirenal, anterior and posterior pararenal spaces. Fluid may collect in one or more of these compartments; this can be readily demonstrated by cross-sectional imaging, particularly computed tomography (CT). This pictorial review illustrates the radiological manifestations of perinephric fluid collections with their differential diagnosis including perinephric abscess, perirenal urine collection, subcapsular and perirenal hematoma, renal lymphangiomatosis, pancreatic pararenal fluid collections and transudate fluid associated with nephropathies.
