Oral propranolol hydrochloride has been proven effective in treating infantile hemangiomas, and its potential efficacy in choroidal hemangiomas has been suggested. A 57-year-old woman with a juxtapapillary capillary hemangioma was treated with oral propranolol at Nagoya Medical Center in Japan in 2012. Although the condition of this patient partially improved, oral propranolol did not appear to have a critical therapeutic effect. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first pilot study to describe a case in which oral propranolol was used as a therapeutic approach for a retinal hemangioma
