VPTs are uncommon benign vascular tumors and usually located at the infero-temporal peripheral retina. Close observation and early diagnosis of VPTs are of great importance in preventing vision-threatening complications and ensuring the best final visual outcome. The optimal treatment has yet to be defined due to lack of multi-center clinical studies. Despite the availability of less invasive therapeutic interventions, however, our case series show that pars plana vitrectomy is sometimes the most appropriate choice to restore visual acuity.
