We evaluated a consecutive series of 151 eyes with massive vitreous hemorrhage affecting one eye only. Vitreous hemorrhage related to diabetic retinopathy or ocular perforating injuries were not included in the study. We paid particular attention to the causes, clini-cal course and therapeutic implications.

The causative factors for the vitreous hemorrhage could be identified in all the cases, either through vitre-ous surgery (74 eyes) or spontaneous resorption (77eyes). There were two major factors for the vitreoushemorrhage : retinal tear formation (42%) and long-standing branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) (37%).Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment was a common consequence of vitreous hemorrhage due to retinal tear. Surgical outcome of these eyes were not very favorable, as proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) of Grade B or more was present in 38% of the cases when the detach-ment was detected and operated on after the vitreous hemorrhage had persisted for one month or longer. Macular pucker or persistent retinal fold in the macula were chief factors for poor visual acuity in spite of anatomical reattachment.

Vitreous hemorrhage due to long-standing BRVO was characterized by recurrent vitreous hemorrhage and, therefore, by poor tendency for spontaneous resorption. The vitreous cleared in only 38% of eyes within 6 months after the initial episode of vitreous hemorrhage. Retinal tear formation was another serious complica-tion, developing in 11 out of 67 eyes (16%) in this group.

The present findings indicate that an early vitreous surgery is indicated for unilateral massive vitreous hemorrhage because of frequent association of poor prognostic factors as outlined above.
