Abstract

Retinal astrocytic hamartomas (RAH) are the most frequent ocular manifestation of tuberous sclerosis complex and are usually indolent, requiring only observation. We report an aggressive RAH subtype in a child unresponsive to anti-VEGF and laser therapy. Treatment with systemic everolimus was well-tolerated and significantly reduced ocular (and nonocular) tumor size and fluid exudation.
