Abstract
To report a massive vitreous hemorrhage in a 26-year-old woman that occurred approximately 6 weeks after she received a ganciclovir implant. Case report. The cytomegalovirus retinitis was inactivated after uncomplicated insertion of a ganciclovir implant. Approximately 6 weeks later, the patient was examined for sudden painless visual loss caused by a dense vitreous hemorrhage. Sustained-release ganciclovir implants may be associated with delayed vitreous hemorrhage.
