Spontaneous vitreous hemorrhage is a rare entity, present in 7 out of 100,000 inhabitants. It is associated with different pathologies; however, it is rarely reported to be caused by retinal vessel avulsion syndrome. In the present manuscript, we report a case of avulsion of retinal vessels associated with recurrent vitreous hemorrhage managed, at first, by photocoagulation, but due to the several recurrence of bleeding, the patient went into surgical management.
