Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Retinal Diseases
  • Vitreoretinal Surgery

Background:

  • Clotted premacular hemorrhage poses a significant challenge in ophthalmology.
  • Effective management strategies are crucial for visual recovery.

Observation:

  • A case report details the management of clotted premacular hemorrhage in a 46-year-old female patient.
  • The hemorrhage was located premacularly and clotted, indicating a complex presentation.

Findings:

  • A two-stage treatment approach was employed: intravitreal injection of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) followed by an SF6 gas-air mixture.
  • This combined fibrinolytic and mechanical approach facilitated hemorrhage dislocation and resorption.
  • The treatment resulted in almost full visual acuity preservation for over two years post-intervention.

Implications:

  • This management strategy offers a promising therapeutic option for clotted premacular hemorrhages.
  • The findings suggest that combined tPA and gas-infusion therapy can effectively restore vision in such cases.
  • Further research into this technique could refine treatment protocols for vitreoretinal disorders.
