Abstract
-
Sub-retinal pigment epithelial hemorrhage, located between sub-retinal pigment epithelial space and Bruchs membrane, develops from various etiology and usually is associated with subretinal hemorrhage. When sub retinal pigment epithelial hemorrhage occurs with choroidal neovascularization(CNV) within macular area, it generally has a poor visual prognosis. We report the case of a 54-years old man who initially had large sub-retinal pigment epithelial hemorrhage with presumed CNV. Without treatmetn, visual improvement with spontaneous resolution of hemorrhage occured.
