    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Retinal Diseases
    • Vitreous Disorders

    Background:

    • Acute vitreous hemorrhage (AVH) is a common ophthalmic emergency.
    • Identifying the etiology of AVH is crucial for timely and appropriate management.
    • Previous studies have varied in their findings regarding the leading causes of AVH.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To prospectively analyze the causes of acute vitreous hemorrhage.
    • To determine the prevalence of different etiologies in a cohort of AVH patients.
    • To compare the incidence of common causes like retinal tears and diabetic retinopathy.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective analysis of 100 consecutive cases presenting with acute vitreous hemorrhage.
    • Clinical examination and diagnostic workup to identify the underlying cause.
    • Categorization of hemorrhage causes based on presentation findings.

    Main Results:

    • The cause of vitreous hemorrhage was identified in 79% of the 100 cases analyzed.
    • Retinal tears were the most frequent cause, accounting for 40% of identified etiologies.
    • Diabetic retinopathy was identified as the cause in only 6% of cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Retinal tears are a predominant cause of acute vitreous hemorrhage.
    • Diabetic retinopathy is a less common etiology for AVH compared to other causes.
    • Prompt etiological diagnosis is achievable in a majority of AVH cases.
