Vasoproliferative Retinal Tumors: Manifestations, Management, and Outcomes in a Case Series
VPRTs pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges given their heterogeneous presentations and potential for complications. Our cases illustrate that a multimodal management strategy - incorporating tailored combinations of therapies such as laser photocoagulation, cryotherapy, anti-VEGF injections, and surgery - is essential to address individual characteristics of each patient's disease. Personalized treatment approaches allow for precise targeting of the lesions while minimizing risk of complications, contributing to better disease stabilization and visual outcomes. Early detection and tailored management are essential, though further research is needed to establish standardized treatment protocols.
