Blow-in fracture of the orbital roof presenting as a case of non-resolving choroidal effusion.

A 34-year-old male patient was referred to us as a case of non-resolving suprachoroidal hemorrhage. History revealed decrease in right eye vision following trauma to forehead. B scan ultrasonography (USG) of the right eye showed a high-reflective structure indenting the globe. It turned out to be an inferiorly displaced fracture fragment from the orbital roof on computerized tomography (CT) scan. The choroidal elevation disappeared after open reduction of the fracture fragment and patient had good recovery of vision. USG and CT scan were helpful in the diagnosis and management of this case.

Suprachoroidal haemorrhage. Secondary management.

We report a case of successful management of expulsive suprachoroidal haemorrhage following cataract surgery. This case study highlights the strategy of adequate management.

Hemorragia expulsiva espontânea durante crise hepertensiva: relato de dois casos / Spontaneous expulse hemorrhage during hypertensive crisis: report of two cases

Hemorragia expulsiva espontânea é um evento desastroso e incomum, geralmente associado ao glaucoma. Neste artigo, relatamos dois casos ocorridos durante episódios de crise hipertensiva arterial, uma associaçäo que ainda näo havia sido discutida na literatura. Acreditamos que a pressäo arterial gravemente elevada possa desempenhar um papel direto na patogênese dessa condiçäo

Suprachoroidal hemorrhage following combined glaucoma-cataract surgery causing total but reversible loss of vision

Suprachoroidal hemorrhage or effusion is a common complication of intraocular surgery. Visual outcome depends on the extent and duration of the detachment, severity of ocular disease and effectiveness of the surgical intervention. We present a case of a middle aged man who regained partial vision, following complete loss of light perception, after tapping of a hemorrhagic choroidal detachment

Expulsive choroidal haemorrhage.

Expulsive choroidal haemorrhage is a dramatic and serious complication of cataract surgery that occurred in five patients out of ten thousand consecutive cataract surgeries performed by the author during the year 1989 and 1990. Report about this dreaded complication after cataract surgery are scanty and as far as I can remember I have not seen any report in Indian ophthalmic literature recently. Since cataract surgery forms the major part of intra ocular surgeries performed in our country, I thought it would be appropriate to report about this rare complication which may occur to all of us. Out of five cases 3 were males and 2 were females in the age group ranging between 45-72 years. Two eyes regained vision up to 6/12 after intra operative expulsive haemorrhage. All the eyes were salvaged by doing anterior sclerotomy. Diabetes, hypertension, glaucoma and myopia are the commonest predisposing factors.
