Abstract
Three patients developed vitreous hemorrhage secondary to breakthrough bleeding from presumed extramacular subretinal neovascularization. In one patient, the vitreous hemorrhage cleared spontaneously. In two other patients, trans-pars plana vitrectomy was performed. All patients regained 20/30 vision or better. Residual peripheral retinal pigment epithelial atrophy, organized subretinal hemorrhage, and/or subretinal fibrous membranes were present in all patients. A definite extramacular subretinal neovascular membrane was identified in one patient. Ocular diseases associated with subretinal neovascularization are tabulated. Indications for trans-pars plana vitrectomy in patients with breakthrough vitreous hemorrhage secondary to presumed extramacular subretinal neovascularization are proposed.Keywords
