Abstract

Retinal capillary angioma is a tumour-like nodule of the retina and was first described in 1904 by von Hippel. This disease is characterised among the congenital syndromes known as the phakomatoses. It is the only known phakomatosis that does not exhibit skin lesions. A patient with retinal capillary angioma with leakage and haemorrhage is described and the differential diagnosis discussed. In addition, this patient was treated with transpupillary thermotherapy and the available therapies are summarised.
