Glaucoma drainage devices are mostly used for refractory glaucoma. Early postoperative complications include flat anterior chamber, choroidal effusion, and suprachoroidal hemorrhage. An 8-year-old male patient with a prior history of vitreous surgery for traumatic vitreous hemorrhage, presented to us with angle recession glaucoma in his right eye. His intraocular pressure (IOP) was 44 mmHg despite maximum antiglaucoma medication. Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) surgery was performed to control his IOP. In the early postoperative period, the patient developed premacular subinternal limiting membrane (ILM) hemorrhage, which did not resolve even after 4 weeks. Vitreoretinal intervention involving removal of the thickened ILM and sub-ILM bleed had to be performed. To the best of our knowledge, no case has been reported with sub-ILM bleed post aqueous humor shunts. Here, we report a case of premacular sub-ILM bleed following AGV in vitrectomized eye.

Background: Accurate localization of premacular hemorrhages (PMHs) is crucial as treatment strategies vary significantly based on whether the hemorrhage resides within the vitreous gel, subhyaloid space, or beneath the internal limiting membrane (ILM). This report outlines the clinical features, diagnostic findings, and treatment outcomes in a patient diagnosed with a PMH secondary to suspected Valsalva retinopathy.
Methods: This is a retrospective interventional case report.

Article Synopsis
- * In a specific case, a 48-year-old woman had trouble seeing because of this bleeding, but doctors used a special surgery to remove the blood without damaging a part of the eye called the fovea.
- * After the surgery, her vision improved significantly, showing that this method can be a good way to treat this type of eye bleeding.

Article Synopsis
- * A 17-year-old patient experienced vitreous bleeding after subarachnoid hemorrhage; surgery revealed significant hemorrhages and a delayed MH developed a week later.
- * The study indicates that pressures from the hemorrhages can lead to MH formation, and suggests early surgical intervention to prevent potential retinal damage if the MH doesn't close on its own.
