Combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium - MRI features of a rare paediatric intraocular tumour
|
abstract
|
Combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium is a
rare benign ocular tumour in children, composed of glial cells,
vascular tissue, and sheets of pigmented epithelial cells. Although
generally thought to be congenital, acquired cases are known to
exist. It usually presents with reduced visual acuity and/or
strabismus and it can be associated with several syndromes,
including Neurofibromatosis Type 2. There is no consensus on the
management of combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment
epithelium. We present a case, including MRI features, of a
4,5-years-old girl with a combined hamartoma of the retina and
retinal pigment epithelium.
