Purpose: To report a case of malattia leventinese involving subretinal hemorrhage.
Methods: Case report.
Results: Two weeks after initial presentation, the visual acuity of this 34-year-old man decreased to LE: 20/100. Funduscopic evaluation revealed a subretinal hemorrhage involving the center of the foveal in the left eye that was interpreted as secondary to a neovascular membrane on fluorescein angiography. The patient did well after the removal of the submacular material by pars plana vitrectomy.
Conclusion: Patients with malattia leventinese may occasionally present with submacular hemorrhage. Prompt diagnosis and intervention may enhance the patient's chance for visual improvement.
