Abstract:
Vitreous hemorrhage acounted for 64 patients(67 eyes) seen during a eighteenmonth period from March 1, 1987, to August 31, 1988. In order of decreasing frequency, the major causes were diabetic retinopathy(19.4%), trauma(l1.9%), silent retinal tear(10.4%). retinal branch vein occlusion(7.5%), acute posterior vitreous detachment(7.5%), Eales' disease(6%), Hypertension(6%), central retinal vein occlusion(4.4%). And the minor causes were rhegmatogenous retinal detachment(3%), retinal angioma(3%), chronic renal failure(3%), subretinal neovascularization(1.5%), disc neovascularization with undetermined cause(1.5%). No cause could be determined in 14.9% of the cases.
