Optical coherence tomography findings in valsalva retinopathy.
American Journal of Ophthalmology 2005 July
PURPOSE: To demonstrate the plane of premacular hemorrhage in Valsalva retinopathy with optical coherence tomography
DESIGN: Observational case report
METHODS: Two young men with Valsalva stress-related premacular hemorrhage were evaluated by OCT scans, taken just above the level of sedimented blood.
RESULTS: In both cases, OCT demonstrated two distinct membranes: a highly reflective band immediately above the premacular hemorrhage, corresponding to the internal limiting membrane, and an overlying patchy membrane with low optical reflectivity consistent with posterior hyaloid.
CONCLUSION: OCT supported the clinical impression that the plane of premacular hemorrhage in Valsalva retinopathy is probably under ILM. Larger case studies are required to confirm this finding.
