Retinal vascular anomalies encompass a diverse range of clinically significant conditions, including capillary hemangiomas, cavernous hemangiomas, and racemose hemangiomas. Capillary hemangiomas are characterized by vascular lesions bridging the artery and vein in the retina and are often associated with Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome. These lesions can lead to visual impairment and retinal detachment. Cavernous hemangiomas are well-defined, cluster-like vascular malformations within the retina that can cause visual disturbances due to their location and impact on retinal architecture. Racemose hemangiomas are arteriovenous malformations marked by abnormal connections between arteries and veins in the retina that may pose a risk of hemorrhage. Despite their varied clinical presentations, all 3 conditions are reported to have associated life-threatening central nervous system lesions, along with skin and visceral involvement.This activity reviews the history, clinical presentations, genetics, treatment modalities, screening guidelines, and the importance of interprofessional collaboration in treating these disorders. Early detection and intervention are critical in reducing the risk of vision loss, morbidity, mortality, and associated complications, leading to comprehensive management within an interprofessional team.
