Purpose: The authors describe two cases of a rare and illustrative presumed vasoproliferative tumor of the retina associated with recurring vitreous hemorrhage in two young and healthy patients. Method: Two eyes of two patients were examined by fundoscopy, retinography, fluorescein angiography and ultrasonography. Results: In both cases, the vascular tumor was unilateral, solitary and showed ultrasonographic evidence of vitreous attachment. The differential diagnosis of the disease and options for treatment with cryotherapy, photocoagulation and vitrectomy are discussed. Conclusion: The authors point out the importance of recognizing of idiopathic vasoproliferative tumor of the retina in cases of recidivant vitreous hemorrhage.
