²Asist. Dr., Antalya Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi, Göz Hastalıkları, Antalya, Türkiye In this report, we aimed to present successful treatment of subhyaloidal, subinternal limiting membrane, intravitreal hemorrhage secondary to valsalva maneuver due to pregnancy with Nd:YAG laser internal limiting membranotomy and posterior hyaloidotomy. A 26 year-old, 33-week pregnant woman complained of sudden vision loss in her right eye. We learned in the anamnesis that her 5 year-old nephew?s head hit the patient?s stomach during a sudden braking in the car. In ophthalmological examination subhyaloidal, subinternal limiting membrane, intravitreal hemorrhage in macular area were detected. Nd:YAG laser internal limiting membranotomy and posterior hyaloidotomy were applied. The hemorrhage was drained into the vitreous and cleaned completely within ten days. Nd: YAG laser can be considered as a low-complication treatment option that allows rapid and effective loss of subhyaloidal and subinternal limiting membrane hemorrhage related to valsalva maneuver in pregnancy.
