ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

To report two cases of spontaneous suprachoroidal hemorrhage associated with wet type of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) and systemic hypertension. CASE

SUMMARY:

Two women, aged 76 and 73 years, with a history of systemic hypertension for more than ten years had been treated in an eye clinic for wet type of ARMD. The 76-year-old woman was scheduled to receive an injection of intravitreal Lucentis(R) but experienced sudden onset loss of vision and ocular pain in her left eye. The 73-year-old woman had received no specific treatment for wet type of ARMD. She also complained of visual disturbance and ocular pain. In these two cases, slit lamp or B-scan examination disclosed suprachoroidal hemorrhage. Surgical intervention relieved the ocular pain and symptoms in both cases.

CONCLUSIONS:

Even if a patient has not received systemic anticoagulation/thrombolytic therapy, if wet-type ARMD patients are elderly and have systemic hypertension, they should receive regular follow-ups because old age and systemic hypertension are risk factors of spontaneous suprachoroidal hemorrhage.
