Fluorescent angiography imaging of intravitreal active bleeding, due to deep venous thrombosis concomitant to Fournier gangrene.

CONCLUSION: Active retinal bleeding has been reported only twice in the past, in these cases, it was attributed to superficial venous vessel rupture due to vitreous traction or Valsalva-like retinopathy at the site of neovascularization. Active retinal vein bleeding during a fluorescein angiography, secondary to deep venous thrombosis due to Fournier gangrene, has not been previously reported.
