  Dear Editor, We read with interest the article on optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) of a suspected case of choroidal hemangioma. 1 We want to humbly discuss a few facts. The authors mention that “To date, findings from optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) have yet to be reported for a choroidal hemangioma.” However, in 2017 we had published our findings in cases of choroidal hemangioma before and after treatment with laser. 2 In an asymptomatic patient with an incidentally detected choroidal mass multiple differential diagnoses are possible, including metastasis. It would be interesting to know how the authors excluded other ...

19. Swept source optical coherence tomography-angiography of choroid in choroidal hemangioma before and after laser photocoagulation
  
  Explore Indian Journal of Ophthalmology (IJO) Aug 1 2017 Ophthalmology
  
  Swept source optical coherence tomography-angiography (OCT-angiography) gives us a unique opportunity to study the vasculature of choroidal lesions in vivo . We describe the OCT angiographic characteristics of circumscribed choroidal hemangioma before and after laser photocoagulation. Medium-sized choroidal vessels/vessels on the tumor surface become predominantly visible after laser photocoagulation due to laser-induced damage to the overlying choriocapillaris. OCT-angiography adds a new dimension to in vivo analysis of vascular changes in choroid due to choroidal tumors and their response to therapy.
