A New Modified Vitreoretinal Surgical Approach in the Management of Massive Suprachoroidal Hemorrhage

Risk factors for delayed suprachoroidal haemorrhage following glaucoma surgery

“…Prior studies have documented poor visual outcome in cases of DSCH that were similar to our series 3 10 11 12 20 21. In comparison a few studies have reported improvement of visual acuity after early surgical drainage 3 5 11 18. Surgical drainage is mostly seen preferred when clot lysis is near completion, however, whether complete liquefaction of the haemorrhage is absolutely necessary for successful drainage of the haemorrhage remains unknown 20.…”

“…SCH has been reported to occur after: cataract surgery,1 2 glaucoma filtration surgery,3 – 15 penetrating keratoplasty16 17 and vitreoretinal surgery 18 19. SCH can be classified according to the extent and size of haemorrhage, according to precipitating factors or in relation to the timing of surgery 20.…”

Suprachoroidal Hemorrhage During Pars Plana Vitrectomy in Traumatized Eyes

“…Lakhanpal et al reported that six out of the seven patients with SCH that had developed during PPV finally had visual acuity of no light perception. 16 However, in this series, a final visual acuity of 20/400 or greater is found in four patients, the best visual acuity is even 20/60, and only one patient has final visual acuity of no light perception.…”

The surgical management of massive intraoperative and postoperative suprachoroidal hemorrhage: anatomic and functional outcomes

“…Some recent reports have advocated early surgical intervention in the management of SCH (20)(21)(22) . Despite all the surgical efforts, most studies report poor visual prognosis with a low final visual acuity at follow up (17,23,24) . The indications and timing of drainage procedures in patients with a postoperative SCH depend on the ocular findings.…”
