Valsalva retinopathy managed surgically by 25 gauge pars plana vitrectomy: A case report
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Valsalva retinopathy is a form of pre-retinal haemorrhage (PRH) that was described by Duane in 1972 as “a particular form of retinopathy, pre-retinal and hemorrhagic in nature, secondary to a sudden increase in intrathoracic pressure”.(1) It has been described after activities such as coughing, vomiting, lifting, straining for a bowel movement, strenuous exertion, sexual intercourse, labor, blowing musical instruments, compression injuries, endoscopic procedures (colonoscopy and gastroscopy). Treatment consists of either observation or Nd:YAG hyaloidotomy or pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). With the advent of micro incision vitreous surgery (MIVS), PPV is becoming a viable option for valsalva induced PRH. We report a case of unilateral valsalva retinopathy caused by severe coughing in
