Abstract

Aim: To study the etiology of vitreous haemorrhage in a tertiary eye care hospital of North India.
Materials and Methods: A hospital based cross-sectional study was done in RIO, PGIMS Rohtak over a period of over 2 years which included 200 patients presenting with vitreous haemorrhage. All patients were evaluated in detail to establish the etiology of vitreous haemorrhage. The data was analyzed using microsoft excel and SPSS 17.0 software.
Result: A total of 200 patient presenting with vitreous haemorrhage involving one or both eyes were evaluated. The mean age of patients was found to be 47.40+19.6 years with a range of 6 months to 85 years. Only 24% cases had bilateral involvement. Male were found to be affected more commonly than females with M:F ratio of 2:1. In more than 85% cases, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, retinal vasculitis, branch retinal vein occlusion, central retinal vein occlusion, retinal tear, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and ocular trauma was the underlying etiology.
Conclusion: Proliferative diabetic retinopathy, branch retinal vein occlusion, posterior vitreous detachment with retinal tear are most common causes of vitreous haemorrhage in elderly patients while in young adults, retinal vasculitis is most common cause. While in children, trauma is found to be the most common etiology of vitreous haemorrhage.

Keywords: Diabetic retinopathy, Ocular trauma, Vasculitis, Vitreous haemorrhage.
