There was a background history of poor vision and deficient night vision since childhood. At the first presentation, the best corrected visual acuity was 6\/36 and 6\/60 in the right and left eye, respectively. Ocular examination revealed waxy pale disc, bone spicule pigmentation, attenuated vessels and epiretinal membrane in the right eye in keeping with retinitis pigmentosa. An astrocytic harmatoma was also present in the right eye. Vitreous haemorrhage in the left eye precluded a view of the fundus. He subsequently had a left pars plana vitrectomy, and intravitreal bevacizumab on account of non-resolving vitreous haemorrhage and a vasoproliferative tumour and astrocytic hamartoma were noticed intraoperatively. He had a good immediate post-operative outcome post-left vitrectomy but subsequently developed left neovascular glaucoma 2 years after. Neovascular glaucoma may be a sequela of vasoproliferative tumour; hence, regular follow-up and monitoring are essential in these patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/npmj.npmj_265_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,7]],"date-time":"2023-02-07T06:42:36Z","timestamp":1675752156000},"page":"81-84","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Bilateral Astrocytic Hamartoma with Vasoproliferative Tumour in Retinitis Pigmentosa"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Yewande O.","family":"Babalola","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Miloni S.","family":"Shah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Srikant K.","family":"Padhy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Umesh C.","family":"Behera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-12-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"43","DOI":"10.1186\/s12886-020-01797-z","article-title":"Ocular abnormalities in a large patient cohort with retinitis pigmentosa in Western China","volume":"21","author":"Tan","year":"2021","journal-title":"BMC Ophthalmol"},{"key":"R2-12-20240908","first-page":"63","article-title":"Optic disc drusen and a constellation of other features of retinitis pigmentosa: A case report","volume":"6","author":"Babalola","year":"2021","journal-title":"Int J Ophthal Vis Sci"},{"key":"R3-12-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1292","DOI":"10.1016\/S0161-6420(83)34389-X","article-title":"Presumed acquired retinal hemangiomas","volume":"90","author":"Shields","year":"1983","journal-title":"Ophthalmology"},{"key":"R4-12-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"45","DOI":"10.1159\/000324037","article-title":"Evolution of an astrocytic hamartoma of the optic nerve head in a patient with retinitis pigmentosa \u2013 Photographic documentation over 2 years of follow-up","volume":"2","author":"Loukianou","year":"2011","journal-title":"Case Rep Ophthalmol"},{"key":"R5-12-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"593","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajo.2012.09.002","article-title":"Reactive retinal astrocytic tumors (so-called vasoproliferative tumors): Histopathologic, immunohistochemical, and genetic studies of four cases","volume":"155","author":"Poole Perry","year":"2013","journal-title":"Am J Ophthalmol"},{"key":"R6-12-20240908","first-page":"1","article-title":"Angle closure glaucoma in retinitis pigmentosa","volume":"6023586","author":"Pradhan","year":"2020","journal-title":"Case Rep Ophthalmol Med"},{"key":"R7-12-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1599","DOI":"10.1016\/S0161-6420(86)33539-5","article-title":"Retinitis pigmentosa and retinal neovascularization","volume":"93","author":"Uliss","year":"1986","journal-title":"Ophthalmology"},{"key":"R8-12-20240908","first-page":"e25915","article-title":"Bilateral neovascular glaucoma with retinitis pigmentosa: A clinical challenge","volume":"14","author":"Cruz","year":"2022","journal-title":"Cureus"},{"key":"R9-12-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"110","DOI":"10.4274\/tjo.galenos.2020.07573","article-title":"Unusual association of inverse retinitis pigmentosa, scleromalacia, and neovascular glaucoma","volume":"50","author":"Ko\u00e7ak Alt\u0131nta\u015f","year":"2020","journal-title":"Turk J Ophthalmol"},{"key":"R10-12-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"100","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ophtha.2012.07.006","article-title":"Clinical evidence of sustained chronic inflammatory reaction in retinitis pigmentosa","volume":"120","author":"Yoshida","year":"2013","journal-title":"Ophthalmology"},{"key":"R11-12-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"328","DOI":"10.1001\/2013.jamaophthalmol.524","article-title":"Retinal vasoproliferative tumors: comparative clinical features of primary versus secondary tumors in 334 cases","volume":"131","author":"Shields","year":"2013","journal-title":"JAMA Ophthalmol"},{"key":"R12-12-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"615","DOI":"10.1001\/archopht.1995.01100050083035","article-title":"Vasoproliferative tumors of the ocular fundus.
