Treatment of Valsalva retinopathy.
Optometry and Vision Science : Official Publication of the American Academy of Optometry 2014 November
PURPOSE: To report a case of Valsalva retinopathy treated by neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser and discuss the previously reported treatments for Valsalva retinopathy.
CASE REPORT: A 35-year-old-woman experienced a sudden painless visual loss in her left eye after lifting heavy bags of manure on the farm. The patient was diagnosed as having Valsalva retinopathy. The examination revealed a macular preretinal hemorrhage. An Nd:YAG laser was used on the patient after conservative management afforded no resolution. After treatment, visual acuity improved.
CONCLUSIONS: Valsalva retinopathy can be treated by conservative management, Nd:YAG laser, and vitrectomy, but each treatment must be evaluated in regard to the duration, the location, and the amount of the hemorrhage.
