Thomas A. Ciulla, MD, MBA, FASRS » Submacular Hemorrhage Treated by Vitrectomy TPA Gas

A 90 year old woman presented with sudden loss of central vision OS of 1 week.
Her VA was finger counting OS, with mild-moderate vitreous hemorrhage and large preretinal and subretinal hemorrhage, felt to be due to AMD or retinal artery macroaneurysm.
She underwent pars plana vitrectomy, submacular tissue plasminogen activator injection, gas injection, face down positioning.
Follow up 3 months later showed VA: 20/80 OS.
Angiography shows resolution of submacular hemorrhage, no active CNVM, and no active retinal artery macroaneurysm.
