Spontaneous Expulsive Suprachoroidal Hemorrhage in a Middle-Aged Patient With Hypertension, Type II Diabetes, and Associated Retinopathy.

We report the clinical course of spontaneous expulsive suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SESCH) in a middle-aged man. A 50-year-old man with a history of uncontrolled hypertension and type II diabetes presented with massive preretinal hemorrhage in the posterior pole of the right eye (RE). Two weeks later, he presented with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and a nearly obliterated anterior chamber with coagulated blood behind the lens in the RE. We performed two rounds of surgery, including cataract surgery, vitrectomy, and sclerotomy. The choroidal detachment was clearly visible behind the posterior capsule during the cataract surgery. The surgical intervention successfully lowered the IOP and alleviated the pain. In rare cases of SESCH, maintaining awareness when patients show vulnerability in their choroidal vessels is of high importance.

Early Drainage of Suprachoroidal Hemorrhage Combined with Surgical Correction of Hypotony after Trabeculectomy.

Aims and background: Delayed suprachoroidal hemorrhage (DSCH) is a vision-threatening complication of intraocular surgeries with a higher prevalence in postglaucoma filtering surgeries. Through these case series of trabeculectomy complicated with DSCH, we aim to emphasize that correction of hypotony (inciting factor) is fundamental for complete resolution and prevention of recurrence. Case description: All three glaucoma patients underwent trabeculectomy surgery followed by DSCH on postoperative day 1. Drainage of DSCH using a 23 gauge trocar cannula within 48 hours of onset was performed along with exploration for the cause of hypotony. All three patients had satisfactory visual and anatomical outcomes. Conclusion: Early drainage using 23 gauge trocar cannulas gives good results in DSCH. The cause of hypotony must simultaneously be corrected during the drainage of DSCH. Preventive measures against hypotony should be taken while doing glaucoma filtering surgery. Clinical significance: Surgical exploration for the cause of hypotony must simultaneously be performed during drainage of DSCH. Primary preventive measures against hypotony and bleeding during glaucoma filtering surgeries, like the use of releasable sutures, viscoelastic in the anterior chamber, and discontinuation of anticoagulants, can be done. Early drainage using trocar cannulas gives satisfactory results in DSCH postglaucoma surgeries. How to cite this article: Beri N, Verma S, Bukke AN, et al.

Suprachoroidal Hemorrhage.

Suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SCH) refers to the accumulation of blood in the suprachoroidal space, a relatively uncommon but significant complication that can occur spontaneously, during ophthalmic surgery, or as a consequence of ocular trauma. If left undiagnosed and untreated, SCH can lead to severe vision loss or even blindness. Therefore, it is crucial for ophthalmologists to have a thorough understanding of this complication, taking proactive measures to prevent it during surgery and being knowledgeable about effective management strategies for patients with SCH. This review article aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of SCH, covering its risk factors, diagnostic approaches, and the best practices for its management. By enhancing awareness and knowledge in this area, we can improve patient outcomes and minimize the impact of SCH in ophthalmic practice.

Hidden Kiss: A Rare Case of Spontaneous Suprachoroidal Hemorrhage Masquerading as Vitreous Hemorrhage Causing Secondary Angle-Closure Glaucoma.

Suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SCH) is an uncommon sight-threatening pathology, most often encountered intraoperatively. However, spontaneous presentation of SCH is even rarer. We report the case of a 69-year-old diabetic patient with spontaneous SCH (SSCH) in her left eye masquerading as a vitreous hemorrhage. She developed treatment-resistant secondary angle-closure glaucoma. She was referred to the vitreoretinal team for intraocular exploration to identify the source of the hemorrhage. Pars plana vitrectomy identified extensive SCH intraoperatively. As far as the authors are aware, this is the first case in which the patient had such severe SSCH that the characteristic kissing choroidal sign was not visualized on repeated examinations and multimodal imaging. All initial evidence pointed towards a diagnosis of vitreous hemorrhage. This case demonstrates that if a patient has angle-closure glaucoma and persistently raised intra-ocular pressure that is treatment-resistant, then SCH is an important differential diagnosis to consider. Clinicians need to be aware of the risk factors of SCH, and early recognition with a timely intervention of SCH is important to optimize visual outcomes.

Intraoperative Customized Reduction in Baerveldt Implant Plate Size in Elderly Patients with Glaucoma and Short Eyes.

Purpose: Larger surface area glaucoma drainage implant plates are associated with greater IOP reduction. Older age and short axial length of the eye have been reported to be risk factors for postoperative hypotony and suprachoroidal hemorrhage after glaucoma surgery. This pilot study, the first of its type, was conducted to determine the clinical outcome of intraoperative Baerveldt implant plate size reduction in elderly patients (≥80 years) with short axial length (<22 mm). Methods: This was a retrospective study with a minimum 18-month follow-up involving 24 consecutive uncontrolled glaucoma patients who had previously undergone Baerveldt implantation with implant plate size reduction. Success was defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) < 21 mmHg with at least a 30% reduction in IOP from baseline on two consecutive follow-up visits, IOP > 5 mm Hg on two consecutive follow-up visits, and neither reoperation of glaucoma nor loss of light perception. The distance between the rectus muscles at the equator of the eyeball was measured using a surgical caliper. The Baerveldt implant plate was cut with straight dissecting scissors considering the distance between the muscles. Results: The mean ±SD preoperative IOP before GDI was 30.2 ± 6.9 mmHg, and the mean IOP at the last follow-up visit was 13.3 ± 5.1 mmHg, the mean pressure drop being 16.9 mmHg (56%) (P<0.001). The number of antiglaucoma medications declined from mean 3.7 ± 1.0 (range 2-5) to 1.6 ± 1.1 (range 0-3) at the last visit (P<0.001). The success rate at the last follow-up visit was 79% (19 of 24 eyes). Fourteen (58%) eyes were classified as qualified success and five eyes (21%) were complete success. Complications included intraoperative suprachoroidal hemorrhage (1) and postoperative hyphema (2). Conclusion: Baerveldt implantation with customized plate downsizing can be an effective treatment option for difficult glaucoma in elderly people with short eyes.

RARE NON-SURGICAL RELATED MASSIVE SPONTANEOUS SUPRACHOROIDAL HEMORRHAGE. A CASE REPORT.

AIMS: We present two rare cases of non-surgical-related massive spontaneous suprachoroidal hemorrhage. CASE REPORT: The first case was a 73-year-old male with uncontrolled hypertension, who presented with left vision loss, only able to perceive light, with very high intraocular pressure (IOP) and blood pressure (BP), 68 mmHg and 196/106 mmHg, respectively. Ocular examination showed a limited fundus view, and the B-scan revealed near kissing suprachoroidal hemorrhage. The second case was a 59-year-old male, post valve replacement surgery on life-long warfarin, who presented with hand movement vision and IOP of 47 mmHg. The B-scan showed massive submacular and suprachoroidal hemorrhage with therapeutic range International Normalized Ratio (INR). CONCLUSION: Suprachoroidal hemorrhage is one of the rare complications that can be seen in any ocular surgery. However, spontaneous suprachoroidal hemorrhage is a rarer disease. Most of the reported cases are associated with underlying medical conditions. Thus prevention is crucial. This involves ophthalmologists, physicians and general practitioners in managing this group of patients with associated risk factors, for better recognition of this devastating ocular complication in which early detection may reduce ocular morbidity.

Spontaneous Expulsive Suprachoroidal Hemorrhage.

BACKGROUND: Spontaneous Expulsive Suprachoroidal Hemorrhage (SESCH) is an extremely rare phenomenon that leads to atraumatic spontaneous globe rupture. Only a handful of SESCH cases have been reported worldwide, primarily in developing countries. Risk factors associated with SESCH include uncontrolled hypertension, previous eye surgery, glaucoma, atherosclerosis, advanced age, and corneal damage. CASE REPORT: We report a case of expulsive suprachoroidal hemorrhage in a ninety-seven-year-old female. The patient presented to the emergency department with painful bleeding from her right eye. She denied any trauma or injury to the eye. She denied any use of anticoagulation. Physical examination showed a right ocular hematoma with mild active bleeding. She had exophthalmos and proptosis with extrusion of the ocular structures. A computed tomography scan of the orbits demonstrated right globe rupture with diffuse hemorrhage. Ophthalmology was consulted, and the patient subsequently had an evisceration of her right eye. WHY SHOULD AN EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN BE AWARE OF THIS?: Spontaneous expulsive choroidal hemorrhage is exceedingly rare. SESCH predominantly affects diseased eyes in the elderly. Early recognition of impending globe rupture in patients who present with suprachoroidal hemorrhage is necessary and requires prompt ophthalmology consultation. Emergency physicians must be aware that an atraumatic open globe can occur and requires immediate evaluation by an ophthalmologist and emergent repair in the operating suite.

Hemorragia supracoroidea diferida después de queratoplastia endotelial automatizada con pelado de la membrana de Descemet (DSAEK) / Delayed suprachoroidal hemorrhage after descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK)

Este estudio, una serie de 2casos y revisión de la literatura, pretende describir el segundo y tercer caso conocido de hemorragia supracoroidea diferida (DSCH) tras una queratoplastia endotelial automatizada con pelado de Descemet (DSAEK). La hemorragia supracoroidea consiste en la presencia de sangre en el espacio supracoroideo. La agudeza visual final no suele superar el 0,1 (escala decimal). Ambos casos presentan factores de riesgo: alta miopía, cirugía intraocular previa, hipertensión arterial o estar anticoagulados. El diagnóstico de hemorragia supracoroidea diferida se realizó en la primera visita de seguimiento: referían dolor intenso y agudo horas después de la cirugía. Fueron tratados con drenaje transescleral. La hemorragia supracoroidea diferida es una complicación rara pero devastadora y puede ocurrir después de un trasplante lamelar, como la queratoplastia endotelial automatizada con pelado de Descemet. Conocer esta complicación así como sus factores de riesgo permitirá un diagnóstico precoz, lo que mejorará el pronóstico de los pacientes (AU)

This study, a case series of 2patients and a literature review, aims to describe the second and third known cases of delayed suprachoroidal hemorrhage after Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK). The suprachoroidal hemorrhage is defined as the presence of blood in the suprachoroidal space; final visual acuity is rarely greater than 0.1 (decimal scale). Both cases presented had known risk factors: high myopia, previous ocular surgeries, arterial hypertension, and being under anticoagulant therapy. The diagnosis of delayed suprachoroidal hemorrhage was made at the 24-hour follow-up visit, as they recalled a sudden and tremendous acute pain hours after surgery. Both cases were drained through a scleral approach. Delayed suprachoroidal hemorrhage is a rare but devastating consequence that can occur after DSAEK. Awareness of the most critical risk factors allows for early identification, which is of paramount importance for the prognosis of these patients (AU)

Delayed suprachoroidal hemorrhage after Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK).

This study, a case series of 2 patients and a literature review, aims to describe the second and third known cases of delayed suprachoroidal hemorrhage after Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty. The suprachoroidal hemorrhage is defined as the presence of blood in the suprachoroidal space; final visual acuity is rarely greater than 0.1 (decimal scale). Both cases presented had known risk factors: high myopia, previous ocular surgeries, arterial hypertension, and being under anticoagulant therapy. The diagnosis of delayed suprachoroidal hemorrhage was made at the 24-h follow-up visit, as they recalled a sudden and tremendous acute pain hours after surgery. Both cases were drained through a scleral approach. Delayed suprachoroidal hemorrhage is a rare but devastating consequence that can occur after Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty. Awareness of the most critical risk factors allows for early identification, which is of paramount importance for the prognosis of these patients.

Aseptic Orbital Cellulitis as a Complication of Suprachoroidal Hemorrhage.

Suprachoroidal hemorrhage is a rare and potentially devastating clinical entity seen in individuals on anticoagulation presenting with severe unilateral eye pain, sudden vision loss, and elevated intraocular pressures. Herein, we report the first case of aseptic orbital cellulitis caused by recurrent spontaneous suprachoroidal hemorrhage. This case highlights an example of non-infectious orbital cellulitis arising from choroidal pathology in the setting of uncontrolled intraocular pressures and recurrent intraocular bleeding. Surgical intervention with blood drainage should be considered to prevent complications and preserve the globe.

Visual and Anatomic Outcomes of Suprachoroidal Hemorrhage: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

TOPIC: To characterize the presentation, management, and outcomes of suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SCH). CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Suprachoroidal hemorrhage is a potentially devastating condition but there is no high-quality evidence for the prognosis or management of SCH. METHODS: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of peer-reviewed studies of SCH published in PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, or Google Scholar between January 1, 1990, and September 1, 2022. The protocol was prospectively registered on the Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/69v3q/). Random-effects models were used to calculate the pooled estimate and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for visual acuity (VA) and anatomic outcomes. Univariable and multivariable random-effects meta-regressions were performed to determine factors associated with VA outcomes and anatomic success, defined as the retina attached at the last follow-up. RESULTS: Sixty-eight studies comprising 1246 eyes of 1245 patients were included, with mean (standard deviation [SD]) follow-up of 14.0 (9.4) months. The pooled estimate (95% CI) for mean change in logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) VA from baseline to the last follow-up was -0.98 (-1.22 to -0.74) (I2 = 88.4%), with 72.0% (63.5%-80.5%) (I2 = 74.3%) achieving VA improvement of ≥ 0.3 logMAR (3-line improvement in ETDRS VA), 39.6% (32.5%-46.7%) (I2 = 83.2%) achieving final VA of 1.0 logMAR (Snellen equivalent 20/200) or better, and 75.5% (68.4%-82.7%) (I2 = 74.7%) achieving anatomic success. Studies with predominantly nonspontaneous SCH and greater percent of eyes receiving systemic steroids were associated with greater improvement in logMAR VA, a greater proportion of eyes with VA improvement ≥ 0.3 logMAR, and greater proportion of eyes achieving anatomic success (all P < 0.05 univariable meta-regression). Studies with greater percent of eyes treated surgically were associated with greater proportion of eyes with VA improvement of ≥ 0.3 logMAR in (P < 0.05, univariable and multivariable analysis). The mean (SD) quality score across studies was 13.9 (2.3) out of 24, and outcomes were of very low certainty of evidence. CONCLUSION: Although limited by heterogeneous observational studies, published reports of SCH indicate that most eyes with SCH experience some degree of VA improvement and anatomic success. However, final VA outcomes remain poor, with most cases resulting in severe visual impairment or blindness.

Suprachoroidal hemorrhage following sutureless scleral-fixated intraocular lens - A case series.

Suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SH) is a rare complication of scleral-fixated intraocular lens (SFIOL). In this series, we report three cases of sutureless SFIOL who developed SH postoperatively. Details of surgery, treatment, and outcome were analyzed. Two cases had limited SH which resolved with conservative treatment and had optimum visual recovery. One case developed massive SH needing surgical drainage, with final best-corrected visual acuity of 6/18 due to a persistent retinal fold. SH can be a potential complication while creating scleral grooves for haptic fixation. The use of a bent needle instead of a straight microvitreoretinal knife while creating scleral grooves might reduce the risk of SH in sutureless SFIOL surgeries.

Management of Suprachoroidal Hemorrhage during Phacoemulsification: A Comprehensive Review.

Suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SCH) is a rare and sight-threatening complication of various intraocular surgeries, including cataract surgery. Although the rate of SCH complicating cataract surgery has decreased in the era of phacoemulsification, most likely due to smaller self-sealing incisions and modern equipment, it remains a challenging complication to manage. The aim of this review is to summarize the current evidence of the pathophysiology and management of SCH complicating phaco surgery. A literature review was performed using the PubMed database searching for diagnosis, therapy, and management of SCH during phacoemulsification. The evidence available on the optimal management of this condition is low, and there is no consensus so far. An early diagnosis is thought to be essential to avoid progression to the devastating stage of expulsion of intraocular contents (expulsive hemorrhage). Sudden intraoperative anterior chamber shallowing, red reflex loss, and a significant increase in intraocular pressure are highly suspicious for this severe complication. A fundus examination and ocular ultrasound are crucial to confirm the diagnosis and, if it is confirmed, stabilize the globe immediately. The initial therapeutic approach includes aggressive topical and systemic medication focused on controlling ocular inflammation and intraocular pressure, whereas the timing and the indications of surgical intervention remain controversial.

Globe Rupture Secondary to a Spontaneous Suprachoroidal Hemorrhage in a Blind Glaucomatous Eye: A Case Report.

Purpose: To report a rare case of globe rupture following a spontaneous expulsive suprachoroidal hemorrhage without a predisposing event. Methods: Case report. Results: A 40-year-old man presented with a 3-week history of episodic eye pain, likely associated with uncontrolled glaucoma, and a spontaneous clot exuding from his right eye without a predisposing event. Notably, the patient had a remote past ocular history of posttraumatic glaucoma and untreated retinal detachment from childhood. He underwent uncomplicated evisceration of the right eye with polymethyl methacrylate implantation. Conclusions: Spontaneous expulsive suprachoroidal hemorrhage without a predisposing event is an exceedingly rare phenomenon, with only six previously reported cases. It is possible that eyes with a history of trauma, possibly diseased eyewalls, and eyes with high intraocular pressure may be the most susceptible to spontaneous suprachoroidal hemorrhage and consequent globe rupture.

"Partial Open Sky Method" - A novel technique to avoid the open sky condition during Triple procedure or Penetrating keratoplasty.

Penetrating keratoplasty is referred to as an "open-sky" procedure because the intraocular contents are entirely exposed to atmospheric pressure after the diseased cornea has been trephined off and before the donor button is sutured. Suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SCH) is a major vision-threatening complication, associated with this open-sky procedure. While numerous factors may predispose an eye to SCH, like hypertension, myopia, trauma, glaucoma, etc., it is better to be prepared for the worst eventuality. We described a novel technical modification, denoted as the "partial open sky technique", that we used during the surgical steps of trephining and excision of host corneal tissue in seven cases of triple procedure and penetrating keratoplasty in our center over two months. We propose that the technique would be additionally helpful in managing the inadvertent suprachoroidal hemorrhage associated with keratoplasty over the available existing methods. Abbreviations: SCH = Suprachoroidal hemorrhage, ICCE = Intracapsular cataract surgery, ECCE = Extracapsular cataract surgery, WTW = White to White.

Outcomes in Patients with Suprachoroidal Hemorrhage After Anterior Segment Surgery.

Objective: The purpose of the current study is to report outcomes of suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SCH) after anterior segment surgery at a single institution, and to identify clinical features associated with visual prognosis. Methods and Analysis: Retrospective consecutive case series of patients with SCH occurring after anterior segment surgery. Results: The study includes 112 eyes of 112 patients between 2014 and 2020. There were 76 cases of non-appositional SCH versus 36 cases of appositional SCH. The mean presenting visual acuity for patients with non-appositional versus appositional SCH was 2.03 logMAR (SD 0.78) versus 2.39 logMAR (SD 0.43), respectively. Visual acuity outcomes generally remained poor at last follow-up: 64 (58%) patients had a visual acuity (VA) of ≤ 20/200, including 19 (17%) with light perception (LP), and 11 (10%) with no light perception (NLP). Regarding management of non-appositional versus appositional SCH, observation was selected in 46 (61%) vs 12 (33%), delayed drainage in 14 (18%) vs 15 (42%), delayed pars plana vitrectomy in 16 (21%) vs 13 (36%), and VA at last follow-up was 1.2 versus 1.86 logMAR (p=0.002). In patients that were observed, both appositional SCH (p=0.01) and duration of apposition (p=0.04) were correlated with worse outcome. Conclusion: Appositional SCH was associated with poorer visual outcomes compared to non-appositional SCH. Observation remains a reasonable management strategy for non-appositional SCH.

Spontaneous suprachoroidal and orbital hemorrhage in an older woman associated with prophylactic antiplatelet therapy: A case report and literature review.

An 80-year-old woman presented to our Ophthalmology Clinic for sudden pain and loss of vision in her right eye for seven days. She had a medical history of atrial fibrillation and cardiac valvular disease and received prophylactic antiplatelet therapy for more than ten years. Spontaneous suprachoroidal and orbital hemorrhage and secondary angle-closure glaucoma was diagnosed according to clinical manifestation and confirmed with B-scan ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. The patient was given transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (TSCPC) combined with medical therapy to lower intraocular pressure (IOP). At a follow-up visit of 4 weeks after treatment, the patient's IOP was normal and symptoms such as eye pain and headache disappeared completely. In this case, we found that TSCPC was beneficial for lowering IOP and relieving pain.

Suprachoroidal Hemorrhage after XEN Gel Implant Requiring Surgical Drainage.

Aim: To describe a case of a patient on anticoagulation who underwent XEN45 (XEN) gel stent placement and subsequently developed kissing suprachoroidal hemorrhages (SCHs) requiring surgical drainage. Background: Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) aims to achieve effective control of intraocular pressure (IOP) while minimizing the complications associated with traditional glaucoma surgeries. Rarely, a severe complication of intraocular surgery is SCH, which can result from early postoperative hypotony. The XEN gel stent is a MIGS device that theoretically avoids the risk of hypotony due to its outflow resistance properties. However, cases of SCH associated with XEN gel stents have been reported. Case Description: A monocular 86-year-old Caucasian male with glaucoma and atrial fibrillation on rivaroxaban underwent routine XEN gel stent placement with mitomycin C in his only seeing eye. On postoperative day 3, he presented with severe eye pain and worsening vision. He was found to have a SCH that gradually progressed to kissing suprachoroidals that required surgical drainage. After extensive discussion, the decision was made to hold the patient's rivaroxaban given his monocular status. The patient subsequently had a cerebral vascular accident (CVA) 1 week after drainage, but his symptoms gradually resolved after restarting anticoagulation. Two months after drainage, the patient's SCH had completely resolved, and he had recovered baseline visual acuity with excellent IOP control-off medications. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of quick and appropriate management of complications following glaucoma surgery, as well as discussion with patients regarding risks of treatments and return precautions. It also is a reminder that although many new surgical interventions are "minimally invasive," those like the XEN that are more effective at IOP control may have a similar risk profile to more traditional surgeries like trabeculectomy. As such, risk factors like anticoagulation use and older age should be considered in anticipation of surgical intervention. Clinical significance: The XEN gel stent is a new surgical option for glaucoma patients that asserts a better safety profile than traditional surgeries like trabeculectomy, but our case of kissing SCHs requiring surgical intervention following XEN placement reminds us that even minimally invasive surgeries can have devastating complications.

Suprachoroidal hemorrhage during phacoemulsification surgery associated with recent COVID-19: A report of two cases.

To report two cases of suprachoroidal hemorrhage during otherwise uncomplicated phacoemulsification, in whom COVID-19 was documented with a positive PCR test about 1 month before the surgery and the importance of postponing elective surgeries for several months after infection.

A rare ophthalmic complication: Expulsive suprachoroidal hemorrhage.

Background: Expulsive suprachoroidal hemorrhage is a rare but dreadful complication of any ophthalmic surgery. Hence an ophthalmologist should know about the various risk factors, methods for preventing such a situation, and be aware of the various options for timely management to tackle the situation. Purpose: To discuss the risk factors, intraoperative signs, and ways of managing expulsive choroidal hemorrhage. Synopsis: We discuss two cases having multiple risk factors, where the patients underwent tectonic penetrating keratoplasty. In view of extensive involvement of ocular structures, the patients were clearly explained about the guarded visual prognosis and the risk of auto-evisceration. Following trephination of host cornea, rise in intraocular pressure was identified by the increasing size of the vitreous seen prolapsing through the wound and markedly visible pulsations, along with subconjunctival bleeding. Suprachoroidal hemorrhage was suspected and immediate tamponade was given. However, bleeding was not controlled, and eventually, expulsion of all the intraocular contents occurred. Highlights: A surgeon must be aware of the risk factors, be prompt to identify the signs, and must take immediate actions for the management of expulsive choroidal hemorrhage, a rare but dreadful complication of intraocular procedures.
