A 50-year-old man presented with a sudden, painless, visual loss in his left eye of 24 hours. His past ocular and medical histories were unremarkable and the accident was not preceded by a physical exertion. On examination, best corrected visual acuity was 20/20 in the right eye and 20/400 in the left eye. There was no afferent pupil defect and the anterior segment examination was unremarkable in both eyes. Dilated fundus examination of the left eye showed a large sedimented premacular hemorrhage beneath a transparent membrane covering most of the macula including the fovea. There was also a small ectasia of a macular branch of superotemporal vein located above the sedimented blood inside the area of the detached membrane (Fig. 1). Fundus examination of the right eye was normal.
