Abstract

The treatment of juxtapapillary retinal capillary hemangiomas (JRCHs) is still a therapeutic dilemma without established guidelines. Because of the location of these hemangiomas on or adjacent to the optic nerve, treatment is difficult and complex, especially when JRCHs are located in the papillomacular bundle. This manuscript reviews the clinically relevant data on literature regarding the treatment of JRCHs, focusing on novel combined therapies that have shown promising results in these lesions.
