A 31-year-old woman complained of a sudden, painless decrease in vision of the right eye. Ophthalmic examination demonstrated a vitreous hemorrhage in the right eye secondary to peripheral neovascularization. ⋯ Although rare, vitreous hemorrhage can occur in the setting of pars planitis and may be a presenting symptom. Pars planitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of young patients with vitreous hemorrhage.
