Pneumatic Displacement Using Sulfur Hexafluoride as a Treatment for Submacular Hemorrhage

---

Submacular hemorrhage is the tht is located between the neurosensory and the retinal pigment epithelium. Blood in this potential space can be arise from the choroidal and or the retinal circulation. Submacular hemorrhage most commonly is associated with an ocular condition, such as age-related macular degeneration, ruptured macroaneurysm, trauma, and myopia. Subretinal hemorrhage is toxic to photoreceptors and the retnal pigment epithelial layer. This condition has generally a poor prognosis, particularly when the hemorrhage is thick under the fovea and the visual outcomes is rerely than 20/200. The principal of the management of submacular hemorrhage damage to the retina. This is a report of two cases with submacular hemorrhage. We performed pneumatic displacement using sulfur hexafluoride in these cases. The results are the blood was ahifted from under fovea and the visual outcomes were improved
