ABSTRACT
Objective To describe CT and MRI findings of the global choroidal hemangioma, and to investigate their value in the diagnosis and differentiation. Methods Nine choroidal hemangioma patients proven by surgical pathology( n =3)or clinic information ( n =6) were analyzed. CT scan was performed in 6 cases and MRI in 4 cases. All cases were examined by ultrasound and 3 with fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA). Results Two cases showed slight or crescent like thickening and iso density with respect to the global wall on CT scan. 5 cases on enhanced CT showed a flat or shuttle shaped homogeneous mass with marked enhancement. MRI ( n =3) revealed high signal intensity on T 1WI and low signal intensity on T 2WI with respect to the vitreous. 1 small tumor was found clearly by postcontrast fat suppressed T 1WI. Ultrasound showed homogeneous mass ( n =1) and inhomogeneous mass ( n =8), with retinal detachment in all cases. Conclusion CT + MRI + ultrasound can get most of the diagnostic imaging data for choroidal hemangioma. MRI was superior to CT and ultrasound in the diagnosis of choroidal hemangioma and differential diagnosis from other malignant tumors.
