title: RECURRENT SUBRETINAL HEMORRHAGE ASSOCIATED WITH RIVAROXABAN ANTICOAGULATION.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a case of spontaneous recurrent significant subretinal hemorrhage in a patient on rivaroxaban (Xarelto).
  
  
  METHODS
  A case report of a 63-year-old man on rivaroxaban with peripapillary choroidal neovascular membrane and macula involving subretinal hemorrhage.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Improvement in visual acuity from 20/200 to 20/30 and restoration of foveal contour after pneumatic displacement of hemorrhage with C3F8 gas and subsequent treatment with ranibizumab.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The authors report a case of recurrent subretinal hemorrhage associated with rivaroxaban use. Pneumatic displacement and subsequent treatment of choroidal neovascular membrane with intravitreal ranibizumab improved visual acuity.
