Abstract
Retinal capillary hemangioma, often associated with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, is not characteristically seen in other conditions. We report a patient with Marshall-Stickler syndrome who had a retinal capillary hemangioma. A 31-year-old man with Marshall-Stickler syndrome was evaluated for a retinal vascular tumor. Evaluation showed a retinal capillary hemangioma of the von Hippel type. Magnetic resonance imaging disclosed no tumors of brain, kidney, or other organs. The retinal tumor was treated with cryotherapy. Retinal capillary hemangioma is not pathognomonic of von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, and it may be associated with the Marshall-Stickler syndrome.
