Extensive submacular haemorrhage due to CNV (choroidal neovasularisation...wet amd) |
Occasionally large haemorrhages develop in the macular area. These are more likely in smokers, aspirin/anticoagulant users, especially if there is hypertension, or in very elderly patients. Various treatments have been tried. |

Extensive submacular haemorrhage: gas tampanade |
Perhaps the best treatment at present is gas tampanade. (Sacu 09). Injection of tissue plaminogen activator followed by gas often displaces the blood. By displacing the blood, vision may imporve, but also there will be less maular scarring and better sight in the long-term.
