[added] WG; no consensous//Added//Vireous hemorrhage//consider adding this as a subclass here as retinal vessels are the source of blood (WG); parent- Subhyaloid hemorrhage [level: 12]; term- Vireous hemorrhage [level: 12]

I think that the suggestion was to add Vitreous hemorrhage as a subclass of Retinal hemorrhage because retinal vessels are the source of blood. THe HPO does not try to model pathophysiology but instead tries to model the phenotype observations. Thus, I think the best thing to do is to note that the retina is the source of hemorrhage as a comment. @psergouniotis please reopen if you disagree.

I added this Comment:The most common causes include proliferative diabetic retinopathy, vitreous detachment with or without retinal breaks, and trauma. Less common causes include vascular occlusive disease, retinal arterial macroaneurysm, hemoglobinopathies, age-related macular degeneration, intraocular tumors, and others. PMID:16882398
