  Fig. 1 Fundus photographs showing the clinical course of the patient. (A) Fundus photograph of the right eye showed slight disc hyperemia. (B) Fundus photograph of the right eye showed multiple retinal hemorrhages scattered throughout the fovea and posterior pole, mimicking central retinal vein occlusion after intraocular pressure decrease. (C) Fluorescein angiography showed multiple areas of blocked fluorescence due to retinal hemorrhage and vitreous hemorrhage but no delayed venous filling. (D) One month after pars plana vitrectomy, disc hyperemia and hemorrhages were resolved.
