RESULTS: Of 275 patients with VPT, 41% (n 113) were male and 59% (n 162) were female, with a mean age of 44 years at presentation. Primary VPT occurred in 80% (n 219) and secondary VPT, in 20% (n 56) of patients.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Retinal vasoproliferative tumours may be present at any age, although the majority are present in the third and fourth decades of life. 8 These tumours, in contrast to those observed in von Hippel Lindau disease, are sporadic in nature.[nature.com]

Goal of therapy is to encourage reabsorption of macula oedema by the retinalpigment epithelium. However, macula laser treatments carry significant risk of visual loss, therefore the fovea and its surroundings should be avoided.[hkuelcn.med.hku.hk]

Prognosis 90% of Stage 1 and Stage 2 disease regresses spontaneously. Approximately 50% of Stage 3 disease can regress spontaneously. Prognosis for stage 4 and 5 disease is poor, with a high incidence of visual problems and retinal detachment.[pedclerk.bsd.uchicago.edu]
Prognosis: Visual prognosis is not good in infants developing retinal detachment. Retinal detachments commonly occur at 38-42 weeks postmenstrual age, in untreated patients. Treatment of ROP reduces the risk and incidence of unfavourable outcome.[nhp.gov.in]
A PPV, with induction of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) and clearance of the pre-retinal blood avoids fibrosis and a subsequent dismal visual prognosis.[atlasrleye.com]
