Sub-internal limiting membrane (sub-ILM) hemorrhage is a distinct type of retinal hemorrhage in which the blood accumulates between ILM and nerve fiber layer. Little is known about visual prognosis as well as ideal management of foveal sub-ILM hemorrhage in patients with acute leukemia. Herein, we presented a case of acute myeloid leukemia with foveal sub-ILM hemorrhage. Observation alone resulted in complete resolution of hemorrhage with good visual and anatomical outcome.

Multifaceted approach to evacuating multi-level premacular hemorrhage in a case of suspected Valsalva retinopathy - a case report.

BMC Ophthalmol

January 2025

Department of Retina and Vitreous, Narayana Nethralaya, #121/C, 1st R Block, Chord Road, Rajaji Nagar, Bengaluru, Karnataka, 560010, India.

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
  • * Researchers analyzed data from 48 eyes and found that 8 of them (16.3%) developed MH, with distinctive preoperative Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) findings showing a "foveal mountain peak" (FMP) sign in those cases.
  • * The presence of the FMP sign was significantly more common in eyes that developed MH, suggesting it could be a useful indicator for assessing the risk of MH in similar patients.

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.

Delayed macular hole secondary to Terson syndrome: a case report and literature review.

J Int Med Res

March 2024

Department of Ophthalmology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.

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.
