HEMORRHAGIC UNILATERAL RETINOPATHY

Originally posted on @retina.rocks 12/21/2019

This 41YO female presented with acute unilateral vision loss in her right eye. Vision was 20/50 OD and 20/20 OS. Exam revealed unilateral radiating deep Henle layer retinal hemorrhages with no identifiable systemic or ocular etiologies.

Learning Points:
Named by Kon Graversen et al (Retina 2014;34:483-489), hemorrhagic unilateral retinopathy presents with unilateral, deep, intraretinal hemorrhages with sudden reduced vision ranging from 20/20 to hand motion.

There are no associated systemic conditions, nor history of trauma or Valsalva maneuver. It is most common in females. Vision usually recovers completely within 6 months.
