Case Discussion

Choroidal fissure cyst is often incidentally discovered and usually has a benign course without symptoms. Choroidal fissure cyst may rarely present with intracystic hemorrhage, enlargement of the cyst and increasing symptomatology. It is, of course, possible that this represents an alternative diagnosis such as a cavernoma
