Ophthalmoscopic evaluation revealed a tomato ketchup red appearance of the right fundus compared with the left and a serous retinal detachment (RD) of the right eye (Figure 1).
OCT image confirmed the presence of a diffuse choroidal hemangioma with thickening of the choroid and associated RD.

B-scan ultrasound and optical coherence tomography (OCT) (Figure 2) confirmed the presence of a diffuse choroidal hemangioma with thickening of the choroid and associated RD.
Retinography (a) and OCT image (b) documented the amount of subretinal fluid in the lower retina.

However, because the amount of subretinal fluid (mainly in lower quadrants) has not changed (Figure 3), an inferotemporal choroidotomy for drainage of subretinal fluid was created.
OCT image confirmed the elimination of subretinal fluid and the overlying RD after the second session of PDT.

The further PDT session resulted in the total elimination of the subretinal fluid and the overlying RD (Figure 4).
