Abstract

Case report: Optical coherence tomography features of a sub-internal limiting membrane (ILM) premacular hemorrhage and dome-shaped preretinal membrane secondary to Valsalva retinopathy are described.

Comments: The origin of the membrane (internal limiting membrane or posterior hyaloid) and the location of the blood (sub-ILM or subhyaloid) are difficult to define by ophthalmoscopy.
