Fundus Hemorrhage

Fundus hemorrhage refers to bleeding within/under/over the retina (retinal, subretinal, or vitreous hemorrhage), from diabetic retinopathy, AMD, retinal vein occlusion, hypertension, or trauma. Clinical: sudden blurred vision/curtain with retinal/subretinal/vitreous blood on fundus. Treatment: identify and treat cause (anti-VEGF for AMD/diabetic macular edema, scatter laser for ischemia); vitrectomy for non-clearing vitreous hemorrhage; control vascular risk.

Common Symptoms

Sudden blurred vision/curtain; retinal/subretinal/vitreous blood; by cause (diabetes/AMD/HTN)

Causes and Pathogenesis

Neovascular/ischemic/traumatic bleeding leaks into retinal/subretinal/vitreous compartments.

Treatment

Treat cause; anti-VEGF/laser; vitrectomy for non-clearing vitreous hemorrhage; control vascular risk

Preventive Measures

Control diabetes/hypertension; anti-VEGF for AMD.
