          Abstract

          Objetivo: Os autores apresentam dois casos raros e ilustrativos de tumor vasoproliferativo, idiopático presumido da retina associado à hemorragia vítrea recidivante, em duas pacientes jovens e sadias. Método: Dois olhos de duas pacientes foram avaliados por meio do exame de fundoscopia, retinografia, angiofluoresceinografia e ultra-sonografia. Resultados: Nos dois casos relatados, o tumor vascular retiniano foi unilateral, solitário e apresentou evidências ultra-sonográficas de adesão vítrea. São discutidos os diagnósticos diferenciais da doença e alternativas de tratamento com crioterapia, fotocoagulação e vitrectomia. Conclusão: Os autores ressaltam a importância do reconhecimento do tumor vasoproliferativo idiopático da retina nos casos de hemorragia vítrea recidivante.

          Purpose: The authors describe two cases of a rare and illustrative presumed vasoproliferative tumor of the retina associated with recurring vitreous hemorrhage in two young and healthy patients. Method: Two eyes of two patients were examined by fundoscopy, retinography, fluorescein angiography and ultrasonography. Results: In both cases, the vascular tumor was unilateral, solitary and showed ultrasonographic evidence of vitreous attachment. The differential diagnosis of the disease and options for treatment with cryotherapy, photocoagulation and vitrectomy are discussed. Conclusion: The authors point out the importance of recognizing of idiopathic vasoproliferative tumor of the retina in cases of recidivant vitreous hemorrhage.

            Peripheral proliferative retinopathies.

            Peripheral retinal neovascularization (i.e., new vessel growth peripheral to the major vascular arcades) may be secondary to a wide variety of ocular and systemic diseases. Vascular and inflammatory diseases in particular may cause peripheral neovascularization. Following a brief review of ocular angiogenesis, the various clinical entities that can cause peripheral retinal neovascularization are described. The diagnostic workup of a patient with peripheral proliferative retinopathy is outlined and techniques of treatment of the neovascularization (including feeder vessel technique, cryopexy, and panretinal photocoagulation) are discussed.
