Abstract

The diagnosis of an angioma of the optic disc is not always easy. Up to the 1970’s these cases were usually diagnosed after removal of the eye either because of secondary complications or because the lesion was considered clinically as a malignant melanoma. In 1972 Oosterhuis and Rubinstein [38] described the clinical and fluoroangiographic characteristics of hemangiomas of the disc and predicted that improved diagnostic methods would bring to light more cases.
