Submacular Hemorrhage Secondary to Age-Related Macular Degeneration Managed with Vitrectomy, Subretinal Injection of Tissue Plasminogen Activator, Hemorrhage Displacement with Liquid Perfluorocarbon, Gas Tamponade, and Face-down Positioning

ConclusionVitrectomy, subretinal tPA injection, hemorrhage displacement with liquid perfluorocarbon, gas tamponade and face-down positioning was associated with improved visual outcomes in patients with hemorrhagic neovascular AMD. The duration and area of the SMH seemed to be related to the success of displacement.
