Summary:Five cases of delayed nonexpulsive suprachoroidal hemorrhage after trabeculectomy in aphakic eyes are reported. Four cases were done under general anesthesia and in three there was straining and bucking at extubation. The most common presentation was sudden severe ocular pain one day postoperatively, associated with marked decrease in vision and low intraocular pressure. The prognosis was related to the extent of the hemorrhage; where suprachoroidal hemorrhage was extensive, surgical drainage appeared to help. Our last two patients, both with massive postoperative nonexpulsive suprachoroidal hemorrhage, underwent surgical drainage of suprachoroidal blood and recovered preoperative visual acuity.
