Abstract
Purpose: To present fundus images of a case with severe preretinal hemorrhage in diabetic retinopathy that was treated with posterior hyaloidotomy with an Nd:YAG laser. Observations: A 35-year-old diabetic patient presented with sudden painless loss of vision due to severe preretinal hemorrhage over the macular area and high risk proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Her visual acuity was counting fingers. Posterior hyaloid face was treated with Nd:YAG laser (posterior hyaloidotomy). Panretinal laser photocoagulation was first performed to control the proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Blood drained inferiorly into the vitreous cavity with clearance of the premacular area. Conclusions and importance: Prompt treatment with Panretinal laser photocoagulation followed by posterior hyaloidotomy with the YAG laser is a viable option in order to avoid further proliferative diabetic retinopathy complications and vision loss. The current image clearly depicts treatment efficacy. Keywords: Diabetic retinopathy, Preretinal hemorrhage, YAG laser, Panretinal photocoagulation
