Abstract

Valsava maculopathy is one of many causes of premacular hemorrhage. This case report highlights the interest of multimodal imaging in the diagnosis of retinal emergencies which can engage the visual prognosis, especially in a young patient as in our case of Valsalva Maculopathy.A 32 years old male arrived at the ophthalmology emergency for a sudden painless loss of central vision in his left eye after doing some heavy dumbbell exercises without any context of traumatism. After the eye examination, he was been diagnosed with Valsalva maculopathy. The bleeding spontaneously resorbed. Follow-up after 12 weeks was uneventful.
