Abstract

Authors reviewed the clinical datas of 22 patients who were visited to Kyung Hee Medical Center from 1991 to 1994 for solitary macular hemorrhages. Solitary macular hemorrhge was defined as unilateral, solitary hemorrhge located in macular area with no associated retinal or choroidal diseases. Of these 22 patients, seven (31%) were male, 15(69%) were female. Seven had hemorrahges on their right eyes and 15 had it on their left eyes. Authors classified the solitary macular hemorrhages according to the location of hemorrhages and the size of hemorrhages. In the follow-up period, patients with preretinal and intraretinal hemorrhages had revealed a better final visual acuity than patients with subretinal hemorrhges. Also visual prognosis was more better in patients with small sized hemorrhges than the patients with the large sized homorrhages.
