Posterior choroidal involvement in Letterer-Siwe disease.

L K Angell, T C Burton.   

Abstract

A five-year-old child with Letterer-Siwe disease in remission was found to have decreased vision in on eye produced by a choroidal mass and secondary retinal detachment with cystic degeneration. Echography confirmed a vascularized disciform-like mass with possible involvement of the optic nerve. Florescein angiography showed a well vascularized, intensely staining lesion, with optic disc edema, destruction of the retinal pigment epithelium and cystoid macular edema.
