Objective To analyze the clinical features of retinal detachment in macular spontaneous hemorrhage to improve the level of diagnosis and treatment of this disease. Methods The serial clinical data of 23 patients (23 eyes) with subretinal hemorrhage in macular region with the area over 4DDtimes;5DD who were diagnosed in our hospital from Sep, 1998 to Mar, 2003 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients included 12 males (12 eyes) and 11 females (11 eyes) with the average age of 64.1 (47-75). Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and B-scan examination were performed on the patients to analyze the pathogenic factors, and the visual acuity and manifestation of ocular fundus were observed during the 8-24 months followed-up period. Results The visual acuity decreased to less than 0.2 or light perception suddenly in all affected eyes. In 23 eyes, choroidal neovascularization (CNV) of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) was found in 7, polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) was in 5, retinal macroaneurysm was in 2, and unknow pathogenic factor in 9. Among the 23 eyes, hemorrhage was absorbed and no cicatritial formation at the fovea in 3 eyes with the visual acuity of 0.4-0.8; scar and pigment proliferation in the hemorrhage area were seen in 12 eyes with the visual acuity of finger counting (FC) to 0.2; combined vitreous hemorrhage was found in 8 eyes, including massive scar in the macular area in 3 who had undergone vitrectomy with the visual acuity of FC/66cm to 0.2 and blindness in the other 5 eyes. Conclusion Spontaneous hemorrhagic retinal detachment always arises in old people whose symptoms were sudden decrease or loss of the visual acuity. The configuration of the hemorrhage is local and diffuse. The prognosis of the visual acuity of most of the patients is poor due to the serious tissue injury in macula area.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and the related factors of peripapillary subretinal hemorrhage (PPSRH). Methods The clinical documents of fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) of 23 patients (23 eyes) with PPSRH were retrospectively analyzed. Results All of the 23 eyes was myopes with middle or slight degree, and the corrected visual acuity was≥1.0. Among the 23 patients, 9 eyes were PPSRH, 13 eyes were PPSRH with disc hemorrhage, and 1 eye was PPSRH with disc and vitreous hemorrhage. All of the PPSRH was localed at the nasal edge of optic disc. Through FFA the hemorrhage showed blocked fluorescence and the optic disc showed nodular hyperfluorescence at the late phase, and nothing abnormal in the unaffected eyes. Conclusion PPSRH might be related to buried optic disc drusen. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2002, 18: 96-97)
