A 45-year-old woman presented with a sudden loss of vision in her left eye, which occurred while she was having a routine upper fiberoptic gastroenteroscopy. According to the gastrointestinal specialist, the patient had performed multiple sustained Valsalva maneuvers during the procedure. Funduscopy showed a preretinal hemorrhage with a half disc diameter in the fovea of the left eye.
A diagnosis of Valsalva retinopathy was made on the basis of history and fundus finding. The hemorrhage resolved within 2 months without any sequelae. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the occurrence of Valsalva retinopathy following a routine upper fiberoptic gastroenteroscopy.

根据病史和眼底检查结果诊断为瓦尔萨尔瓦视网膜病变。出血在2个月内消退,无任何后遗症。据我们所知,这是首例常规上消化道纤维胃镜检查后发生瓦尔萨尔瓦视网膜病变的报告。
