Abstract
Purpose
To report displacement of thick submacular hemorrhage with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and subretinal tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) in a patient with Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia (AML).
Design and Methods
Case report.
Results
A 65-year-old man with a new diagnosis of AML developed significant intraretinal hemorrhages in both eyes; subretinal and sub-inner limiting membrane (ILM) hemorrhage in the left eye. He underwent 23-gauge PPV, subretinal tPA injection, and air-fluid exchange for subretinal hemorrhage. Foveal subretinal hemorrhage and visual acuity improved after surgery, but he had late post-operative vitreous hemorrhage.
Observations
A 65-year-old man with a new diagnosis of AML developed significant intraretinal hemorrhages in both eyes; subretinal and sub-inner limiting membrane (ILM) hemorrhage in the left eye. He underwent 23-gauge PPV, subretinal tPA injection, and air-fluid exchange for subretinal hemorrhage. Foveal subretinal hemorrhage and visual acuity improved after surgery, but he had late post-operative vitreous hemorrhage.
Conclusions and Importance
This novel case report documents successful displacing subretinal hemorrhage associated with AML with PPV and subretinal tPA.
