PURPOSE: To demonstrate the plane of premacular hemorrhage in Valsalva retinopathy with optical coherence tomography DESIGN: Observational case report METHODS: Two young men with Valsalva stress-related premacular hemorrhage were evaluated by OCT scans, taken just above the level of sedimented blood. RESULTS: In both cases, OCT demonstrated two distinct membranes: a highly reflective band immediately above the premacular hemorrhage, corresponding to the internal limiting membrane, and an overlying patchy membrane with low optical reflectivity consistent with posterior hyaloid. CONCLUSION: OCT supported the clinical impression that the plane of premacular hemorrhage in Valsalva retinopathy is probably under ILM. Larger case studies are required to confirm this finding.
