Sector laser photocoagulation, cryotherapy, transpupillary thermotherapy, photodynamic therapy, intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy, plaque radiotherapy, and endoresection procedures are commonly in the treatment of retinal hemangioblastoma. Cryotherapy, transpupillary thermotherapy, photodynamic therapy, intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy and dexamethasone implants, plaque radiotherapy, and endoresection methods can be applied in retinal vasoproliferative tumor. No treatment in usually necessary in retinal cavernous and racemous hemangiomas.
