Abstract

A 10-year-old boy was referred for a circumscribed choroidal hemangioma with underlying exudative detachment of the left eye. To avoid general anesthetics required for laser-based therapy in a child, we began a trial of oral propranolol. The patient's exudative detachment resolved, with resulting improvement in visual acuity, and remained quiescent for 3 years.
