Choroidal hemorrhage drainage through 23-gauge vitrectomy cannulas.

摘要

Choroidal effusion syndrome (CES) and supracho-roidal hemorrhage (SCH) are rare but dreaded complications of virtually every intraocular procedure,including cataract, glaucoma surgery, penetrating keratoplasty, scleral buckles, and vitrectomy. They may also spontaneously arise in hypertensive and/or vasculopathic patients. Treatment of CES and SCH is still largely debated and includes a more conservative pharmacologic approach and surgical drainage occasionally combined with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and tamponade.
