Objective: The study aimed to determine the outcomes and prognostic factors of vitrectomy, subretinal injection of tissue-plasminogen activator and gas tamponade in macular hemorrhage (MaH) due to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or retinal arterial macroaneurysm (RAM). Methods: The study design utilized a multicentric retrospective case series design of consecutive patients undergoing surgery between 2014 and 2019. Results: A total of 65 eyes from 65 patients were included in the study. Surgery was performed after a mean period of 7.1 days. Displacement of MaH was achieved in 82% of the eyes. Mean best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved from 20/500 to 20/125 at month(M)1 and M6 (p < 0.05). At M6, BCVA worsening was associated with an older age at diagnosis (p = 0.0002) and higher subretinal OCT elevation of MaH (p = 0.03). The use of treat and extend (TE) (OR = 16.7, p = 0.001) and small MaH fundus size (OR = 0.64 and 0.74 for horizontal and vertical fundus size, p < 0.05) were predictive of a higher likelihood of obtaining a countable BCVA at M1. Baseline BCVA was predictive of postoperative BCVA (p < 0.05). Retinal detachment and MaH recurrence occurred in 3% and 9.3% of cases at M6. Conclusion: MaH surgery stabilizes or improves BCVA in 85% of cases. Younger age at diagnosis, better baseline BCVA figures, smaller subretinal MaH height and use of TE regime were predictive of the best postoperative outcomes.

Purpose Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) represents a spectrum of disorders associated with Epstein Barr Virus infection in up to 80% of cases in the setting of pharmacologic immunosuppression following hematopoietic stem cell or solid organ transplantation. Ocular involvement is a rare finding in PTLD. Observation We report the case of a 38-year-old man who presented with unilateral retinal infiltrates as first manifestation of PTLD relapse. Diagnosis relied on the presence of EBV DNA in anterior chamber fluids and vitrectomy that showed the presence of a B cell clone. Systemic relapse of PTLD was detected 12 weeks after retinal findings. Treatment of ocular disease included systemic injections of rituximab and intravitreal injections of methotrexate, halting the extension of retinal infiltrates. Conclusion Ocular involvement in PTLD is rare and needs to be acknowledged because it can precede a systemic relapse of the hematological condition.
