Recurrent hemorrhage into the retina and vitreous, most commonly seen in men in the second and third decades of life. The cause is unknown.
An uncommon medical condition primarily observed in young males is marked by inflammation of the retinal veins and recurrent vitreous hemorrhage, wherein blood leaks into the vitreous humor, the gel-like substance filling the rear chamber of the eye. This accumulation of blood in the vitreous humor can impact vision and potentially cause headaches. In cases of impaired vision, laser treatment may be administered to avert further hemorrhages.
