Trocar-Based Surgical Approach to Suprachoroidal Hemorrhage Drainage.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Suprachoroidal hemorrhage is an uncommon but serious ocular condition that typically occurs in the setting of intraocular surgery and trauma. We present an external trans-conjunctival vitreoretinal trocar-cannula-based drainage of suprachoroidal hemorrhage as a viable surgical approach.

Methods

Case report.

Results

Trans-conjunctival trocar-cannula-based drainage of suprachoroidal hemorrhage is a safe and efficacious surgical approach to drainage of large choroidal hemorrhages.

Conclusions

Although discrepancies persist regarding the optimal surgical approach to suprachoroidal hemorrhage management; herein, we describe the successful execution of an external trans-conjunctival vitreoretinal trocar-cannula-based drainage of suprachoroidal hemorrhage.
