ABSTRACT A woman with massive serous retinal detachment and old peripheral neovascu-larization caused by circumscribed choroidal hemangioma who presented with decreased vision in 2 months was reported. The laser photocoagulation can not be performed because of massive serous retinal detachment, so subretinal fluid drainage was used. The result of this method presented a well attached retina but poor visual function from cystoid macular edema.

Key word : Choroidal hemangioma, subretinal fluid drainage
