Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the management of a hemorrhagic bacillary layer detachment (BALAD) in a patient with neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
Methods: The clinical records and imaging were reviewed.
Results: A 74-year-old woman presented with acute-onset hemorrhagic neovascular age-related macular degeneration with a large hemorrhagic BALAD. The intra-BALAD hemorrhage was amenable to displacement with SF 6 pneumatic displacement with subsequent VA recovery.
Conclusion: Sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ) pneumatic displacement in combination with aflibercept injection is a viable means by which to manage a hemorrhagic BALAD in the context of neovascular age-related macular degeneration. Displacement of large intra-BALAD hemorrhages can result in good visual recovery.
