Surgical methods using retinotomy, intravitreal or subretinal tissue plasminogen activator(tPA) injection and so on have been introduced in diffuse subretinal hemorrahage involving submacular area. We present our experience of improvement of vision in an 50-year old woman with submacualr hemorrgage, treated with 0.6cc expanding sulfur hexafluoride gas(SF6) injetion intravitreally and face-dwon positioning resulting in the movement of subacular hemorrhage to the inferior direction and intravitreal space, and simple pars plana vitrectomy of breakthrough vitreous hemorrhage.
