Abstract:
Background. Macular haemorrhage can be caused by multiple factors such as sustained
exposure to high altitude conditions, retinal artery aneurysm rupture or choroidal vasculopathy
and also by trauma. Its origin is mandatory to be adequately described in order to ensure an
accurate and complete differential diagnosis. Most traumatic lesions left untreated have an
adverse prognostic due to mechanical damage caused by fibrinous infiltration of the retina.
