[Argon green laser photocoagulation for solitary choroidal hemangioma].

Eight (8) cases of solitary choroidal hemangioma associated with macular serous retinal detachment were treated with Argon green laser photocoagulation. The neoplasms were essentially eliminated and the retinas reattached. The visual acuity was improved unless the hemangioma involved the foveal region. No relapse occurred during a follow-up of 6 to 32 months. The laser parameters adopted were: spot size 300-400 microns, exposure 0.2-1.0 sec, and output 0.3-0.5 W.
