Abstract

Purpose: To report the clinical presentation and outcomes in patients with Valsalva retinopathy. Methods: This was a retrospective case series of patients diagnosed with Valsalva retinopathy between June 1, 2010, and May 31, 2020. Clinical notes, operative reports, fundus photography, and optical coherence tomography images were reviewed. Results: This study comprised 58 eyes of 58 patients. The most common causes were lifting (34.4%), vomiting (20.6%), straining (20.6%), and coughing (17.2%). Mean best-corrected visual acuity at diagnosis was 20/163. The most frequently involved vitreoretinal compartment was the subhyaloid space (42.3%) followed by the intraretinal (32.7%), intravitreal (23.1%), and subretinal (13.4%) spaces. Mean best-corrected visual acuity of all patients was 20/59 at 3 months, 20/48 at 6 months, and 20/22 at 1 year. Mean time to clearance of hemorrhage on clinical examination was 99.0 ± 18.7 days in patients who underwent observation and 4.5 ± 3.5 days after surgery in patients who received pars plana vitrectomy. Conclusion: Valsalva retinopathy is generally associated with a favorable visual prognosis. Most eyes perform well with observation although pars plana vitrectomy may be indicated in patients requiring rapid resolution of hemorrhage.
