Zusammenfassung

Vasoproliferative retinale Tumoren (VPRT) sind gutartige Retinatumoren, deren Ursprung bisher unbekannt und oft mit einer vitreoretinalen Entzündung verbunden ist. Wir stellen den Fall einer 21-jährigen Patientin mit einer akuten einseitigen Visusverschlechterung vor. Inferiortemporal stellte sich eine solide vaskularisierte hellgelbliche Läsion mit begleitender lokalisierter Netzhautablösung und Akkumulation von harten Exsudaten dar. Es lag lediglich ein erhöhter Bartonella-henselae-Titer vor. Bei persistierender Uveitis führten die Antibiose mit Makroliden und die Kryotherapie zu einer erfolgreichen Regression des Tumors.

Abstract

Vasoproliferative retinal tumors are benign tumors of unknown origin often accompanied by vitreoretinal inflammation. A 21-year-old female patient presented with acute reduced unilateral visual acuity. A solid yellow vascularized lesion was present in the inferior temporal retina accompanied by localized retinal detachment and accumulation of hard exudations. The only finding was an increased Bartonella henselae titer. Persistence of uveitis and blurred vision led to therapy for Bartonella henselae with macrolide antibiotics and successful tumor regression was achieved by cryotherapy.
