  Fig. 1 (A) A color fundus photograph of the right eye of the retinal cavernous hemangioma (patient at the first visit). Whitish-violet color retinal lesion is seen along the superotemporal arcade. (B-D) An early-phase fluorescein angiography image shows that the cystic space unstained with fluorescein, appears hypofluorescent. A late-phase fluorescein angiography image shows that the superior vascular cystic space, which is stained with fluorescein, appears hyperfluorescent. Hypofluorescence in the inferior space is related to erythrocytic sedimentation. (E) Spectral domain optical coherence tomography shows that the ‘grape bunch’ shape cystic hemangioma is located under the internal limiting membrane.
