[Premacular hemorrhage treatment with Nd:YAG laser: a clinical case].

INTRODUCTION To report a case of premacular hemorrhage treated with Neodymium (Nd):YAG laser puncture. CASE REPORT A 54 year-old Caucasian female was seen in the emergency department with complaints of sudden loss of vision in her right eye (RE), detected on the previous day. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in the RE was reduced to light perception, and fundoscopy evidenced a large and dense premacular hemorrhage. An Nd:YAG laser puncture was performed that day to drain the hemorrhage into the vitreous cavity. The intravitreal hemorrhage cleared in about 1 month, and the BCVA of the RE was 20/25 after 3 months.
