BACKGROUND: Hyperopic shift and chorioretinal folds are common findings with intraorbital masses compressing the posterior pole of the globe. These signs usually regress after @entity5 excision. To the best of our knowledge this is the first reported case, where optical coherence tomography was used to document persistent chorioretinal folds after complete excision of a retrobulbar mass. CASE PRESENTATION: A 47-year-old Caucasian @entity1 was referred to our department with long-documented hyperopic shift and gradually decreasing vision in her left eye. Optical coherence tomography showed chorioretinal folds. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a retrobulbar mass which caused flattening of the posterior pole of the globe. The @entity5 was successfully removed, and was confirmed to be a cavernous haemangioma on histological assessment. 3  years after surgery the @entity1 still has a similar amount of @entity3467 and chorioretinal folds. CONCLUSION: @entity3193 and hyperopic shift may persist after @entity5 removal. Long term follow-up is advised to rule out recurrence of the intraorbital mass.

Long term follow-up of persistent XXXX and hyperopic shift after complete removal of a retrobulbar mass.
