B-mode ultrasound of a patient with long-standing poorly controlled diabetes demonstrates characteristic findings of advanced proliferative diabetic retinopathy. The examination reveals moderate vitreous hemorrhage appearing as diffuse hyperechoic opacities throughout the vitreous cavity, along with a posterior hyaloid membrane densely infiltrated by hemorrhagic material, showing irregular thickening and increased reflectivity. A mild subhyaloid hemorrhage is visible as a subtle hyphema-like space anterior to the retinal surface. The study documents a total tractional retinal detachment, evidenced by rigid retinal folds with clear insertion points of vitreous strands, accompanied by a significant subretinal hemorrhage seen as a prominent hyperechoic collection beneath the elevated retina. These findings collectively illustrate the severe vitreoretinal interface pathology characteristic of end-stage diabetic eye disease, with predominant tractional components and distinct echographic stratification of hemorrhagic layers - from anterior vitreous involvement to deeper subretinal blood accumulation.

A 32-year-old man, who has presented for 02 months, a macular hematoma secondary to a Valsalva maneuver. He benefited from an attempt to open the hematoma with a Yag laser, but to no avail. We operated on and performed a 23G vitrectomy with posterior vitreous detachment, and discovered an epiretinal membrane which separated the hematoma from the posterior hyaloid. After removal of this membrane and aspiration of red blood cells and fibrin, the macula regained a normal appearance with good functional recovery.

This video shows a new dye for vitreoretinal surgery comprised of soluble lutein/zeaxanthin 1% and brilliant blue 0.025 %. The green dye was deposited on the posterior pole; vigorous dye flushing into the vitreous cavity was unnecessary. The dye indirectly shows the posterior hyaloid by deposition of the golden lutein crystals. The ILM stained greenish-blue; No evidence of toxicity was observed.
