Seven cases of retinal cavernous haemangioma are presented. Three cases have been followed for more than 6 years, and three cases between 1 and 2 years. Six cases had no eye symptoms related to the vascular tumour, while in one case vitreous haemorrhage occurred on two occasions. On both these occasions full vision was regained. None of the vascular tumours were treated. Two patients had grand mal seizures. They also had convulsive disease in the family history. In three cases family members of two generations were found to have normal eyes on examination.
