Recurrent hemophthalmia in the valvular rupture of the retina against the background of senile retinoshysis

Introduction. Senile retionolysis is a disease in which there is detachment of the retina starting from the externalplexiform layer moving gradually towards the internal nuclear layer of the retina. Purpose. To present a case of recurrent hemophthalmia in the valvular rupture of the retina against the background of senile retinolysis. Materials and methods. Visometry, complete ophthalmoscopic examination, investigation of the field of vision, fluorescent angiography, consultation of related specialists. Results. There was revealed a peripheral valvular rupture of the retina in ophthalmoscopy with the help of the ramp lens Mainster PRP165 and indirect binocular ophthalmoscopy with sclero-compression confirmed by a sighting US-scanning as well as there was made separating laser coagulation that allowed to stop the devel?opment of retinal detachment and promote dissolution of hemophthalmia. Conclusion. The presence of valvular rupture with the vessel thrown over it requires obligatory laser coagulation to prevent hemophthalmia and detachment of the retina. In the presence of the rigid pupil it is indicated to use indirect ophthalmoscopia with sclerocompression.
