Macular hemorrhages can cause devasting visual loss... Most often, elderly patients with age-related macular degeneration are affected, followed by patients with retinal arterial macroaneurysms. Other conditions that can cause macular hemorrhages are PCV(polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy), secondary CNVMs [choroidal neovascular membranes] of various origin, posttraumatic choroidal ruptures, Valsalva-maculopathy, and Terson's syndrome. Basically, the source of bleeding that affects the macula is the choroidal or retinal vasculature. 1, record 2, English, - macular%20hemorrhage
