Subhyaloid
haemorrhage
Photo by Dr. Lo Sheau Kang
This young woman of 25
complains of decreased right vision and an area of scotoma in her central
vision. Fundoscopy reveals subhyaloid haemorrhage not covering the fovea.
She is otherwise in good health. The appearance suggests that this may be a
Valsalva retinopathy as a result of straining. The haemorrhage resolves
spontaneously.
