title: [Intravitreous hemorrhage caused by retinal tear with a bridge vessel. Discussion on management of 4 cases].
abstract: The authors report 4 cases of recurrent vitreous hemorrhage related to retinal breaks without detachment, bridged by a retinal vessel. Clinical and evolutive features of this type of breaks are emphasized according to a review of available literature. Fluoroscopic evaluation of vascular permeability appears as a promising prognostic tool. Management should be directed to the prevention of both retinal detachment and vitreous hemorrhage recurrence. Cryoapplication and scleral buckling is far more effective than photocoagulation.
