Abstract
Vitreous hemorrhage is the presence of extravasated blood within the space outlined by the internal limiting membrane of the retina posteriorly and laterally, the nonpigmented epithelium of the ciliary body laterally, and the lens zonular fibers and posterior lens capsule anteriorly. Hemorrhage into Berger’s space, the canal of Petit, and Cloquet’s canal is also considered vitreous hemorrhage. Although visually compromising, vitreous hemorrhage actually serves as a symptom of an underlying disease process.
