| Accept poster if oral is not possible ? | Yes |
| Purpose | To describe clinical features, management and outcomes among patients diagnosed with vitreous hemorrhage associated with ocular inflammatory conditions |
| Methods | Sixteen eyes of 15 patients diagnosed with vitreous hemorrhage complicating ocular inflammatory diseases were retrospectively reviewed. |
| Results | Mean age was 24 years (range, 6-66 years), 12 male and 3 female. The mean best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 1/80. Etiologies were Eales disease (4 patients; 26.66%), idiopathic intermediate uveitis (5 patients; 33.33%), Behçet’s disease (2 patients; 13.33%), ocular tuberculosis (2 patients; 13.33%), and ocular sarcoidosis (2 patient; 13.33%). Treatment modalities included systemic corticosteroids (n=15), immunosuppressive drugs (n=2), antitubercular therapy (n=4), intravitreal bevacizumab (n=4), scatter retinal laser photocoagulation to ischemic areas (n=6), pars plana vitrectomy (n=4), and transconjunctival cryotherapy (n=1). In 5 cases, vitreous hemorrhage resolved spontaneously. Mean BCVA was 20/63 at the end of follow-up. |
| Conclusion | Vitreous hemorrhage may complicate various intraocular inflammatory diseases. Early management of inflammation and hemorrhage is essential for better outcomes |
