  • Title: Central subretinal hemorrhage from a retinal arterial macroaneurysm--two-step treatment with laser and vitreoretinal surgery.
    Author: Höh H, Palmowski A.
    Journal: Ger J Ophthalmol; 1992; 1(5):335-7. PubMed ID: 1477636.
    Abstract:
    Central subretinal hemorrhage can be a complication of arterial retinal macroaneurysm. Subretinal bleeding may lead to mechanical and toxic damage of photoreceptors, causing persisting central scotomas. Prophylactically, we perform a two-step therapy using an argon laser and vitreoretinal surgery to achieve coagulation of the bleeding source and drainage of subretinal blood.
