Nd:YAG laser treatment for Valsalva premacular hemorrhage
Purpose:
To report a case of Valsalva premacular hemorrhage treated by Nd:YAG laser.
Methods:
A patient who presented with Valsalva premacular hemorrhage was treated with photodisruptive Nd:YAG laser to drain the entrapped premacular blood into the vitreous.
Results:
After photodisruption, vision in the affected eye improved rapidly due to exposure of the macula.
Conclusion:
Nd:YAG laser treatment may be a good alternative for recent preretinal hemorrhages. Clinical benefits include rapid visual rehabilitation and the avoidance of vitrectomy.
