Abstract | PURPOSE: The purpose of this report is to describe an unusual presentation of vitreous hemorrhage (VH) in a patient with an immunosuppressive condition. METHODS: Retrospective case report. RESULTS: CONCLUSION: As indications for immunosuppression increase, the incidence of cytomegalovirus retinitis in non-HIV-immunosuppressed patients is expected to rise. Therefore, in this subgroup of patients, we should be aware of any underlying retinitis especially in cases with an unusual presentation of VH.
