The Relationship Between Vasoproliferative Tumor and Uveitis in a Multiple Sclerosis Patient: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Turk J Ophthalmol. 2019 Dec 31;49(6):364-366. doi: 10.4274/tjo.galenos.2019.50460.

Abstract

Vasoproliferative retinal tumor (VPRT) is a rare, benign lesion with a variable clinical course depending on the individual. Favorable outcomes are obtained with early diagnosis and treatment of patients with VPRT. In this case report, we present a case of concomitant VPRT and multiple sclerosis along with our management of uveitis and secondary glaucoma that presumably developed following cryotherapy for VPRT.

Keywords: Vasoproliferative tumor; cryotherapy; uveitis; multiple sclerosis.
