Valsalva-Like Retinopathy Spontaneously Occurred after Ocular Massage

چکیده
PURPOSE The aim of this study is to describe a case of Valsalva-like retinopathy that occurred after ocular massage. CASE PRESENTATION A healthy 44-year-old Japanese female had massaged her eye with strong pressure several times. Subsequently, she noticed a loss in the left central vision. A left-eye fundus examination showed a dense preretinal hemorrhage located under the internal limiting membrane at the posterior pole and a mild vitreous hemorrhage. We performed a neodymium-doped yttrium-aluminium-garnet laser membranotomy to perforate the internal limiting membrane. Her best-corrected visual acuity improved from 0.01 to 1.0. No retinal vascular abnormalities in the macular area were found. CONCLUSION Ocular massage can cause Valsalva-like retinopathy.

PURPOSE Premacular subhyaloid hemorrhage is usually a benign condition that generally improves spontaneously and rarely causes visual loss. However, because the hemorrhage may cause permanent macular changes before it resolves, Nd:YAG laser posterior hyaloidotomy may be indicated in selected cases. This study investigated the effects of drainage of premacular subhyaloid hemorrhage into the vitr...
