Tearing of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) can complicate its detachment in the course of senile macular degeneration. In the majority of cases, there is progression to the formation of a macular fibrous scar with poor visual outcome. There have not been any previous reports of vitreous hemorrhage complicating RPE tear. We describe the findings in a 65-year-old man who was observed pre- and posttearing of a serous RPE detachment. He was receiving chronic aspirin therapy for recurrent headaches and developed a vitreous hemorrhage five weeks following the RPE tear.
