Management of Submacular Hemorrhage Using Intravitreal Brolucizumab with Pneumatic Displacement: A Case Series
The management of submacular hemorrhage (SMH) necessitates rapid clearing of the bleed for optimal visual outcomes. We present a series of 3 cases with large fresh SMH (≤7 days) secondary to MNV that were treated with intravitreal injection (IVI) of brolucizumab along with SF6 gas injection. A face-...

description | The management of submacular hemorrhage (SMH) necessitates rapid clearing of the bleed for optimal visual outcomes. We present a series of 3 cases with large fresh SMH (≤7 days) secondary to MNV that were treated with intravitreal injection (IVI) of brolucizumab along with SF6 gas injection. A face-down position was recommended for 5 days after the injection, with follow-up visits at regular intervals. All eyes demonstrated notable improvement in visual acuity with complete resolution of SMH lasting up to 6 months. There were no ocular or systemic side effects. Thus, IVI brolucizumab with SF6 gas injection is efficacious and safe for the management of large SMH secondary to MNV. |
