Publication date: April–June 2018Source: Saudi Journal of Ophthalmology, Volume 32, Issue 2Author(s): Nazimul Hussain, Anjli Hussain, Niaz Ahmad KhanAbstractA 39-year-old lady with past history of vitreoretinal surgery for retinal detachment and cataract surgery with Intraocular lens implantation was diagnosed as uncontrolled glaucoma. She had high myopia. She underwent Trabeculectomy and following which she presented with massive suprachoroidal hemorrhage in the first postoperative day with severe loss of vision. This case depicts the risk of suprachoroidal hemorrhage in a high myopic vitrectomised eye following glaucoma filtration surgery. It also demonstrates a favorable outcome following intervention for postoperative Suprachoroidal hemorrhage. At present, there is no evidence in literature of such event in a high myopic Vitrectomised eye following Trabeculectomy.
