Case Report: We present a case of decompression retinopathy with retinal haemorrhages, optic nerve haemorrhages, maculopathy, and decreased visual acuity after trabeculectomy with mitomycin-C.
Discussion: Decompression retinopathy is a potential complication after glaucoma surgery but has been rarely reported in the world literature. Although these four characteristics have been described separately, in this patient all four occurred together.

Visually significant ocular decompression retinopathy following laser peripheral iridotomy in a patient with primary acute angle-closure glaucoma.
Am J Ophthalmol Case Rep
December 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Ross Eye Institute, University at Buffalo, 1176 Main Street, Buffalo, NY, 14209, United States.
Purpose: We report a single case of ocular decompression retinopathy (ODR) following neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser peripheral iridotomy (Nd:YAG LPI) for primary acute angle-closure glaucoma associated with delayed visual recovery secondary to optic nerve head edema and macular thickening.
Observations: A 56-year-old female patient presented to the emergency department with primary acute angle-closure glaucoma. After topical and IV therapy did not improve intraocular pressure (IOP), an Nd:YAG LPI was performed.
Sterile Caliper Anterior Chamber Decompression Mitigates Intraocular Pressure Spikes in Intravitreal Injections.
Transl Vis Sci Technol

Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA, USA.
Purpose: To investigate the efficacy of a novel approach using a sterile caliper for anterior chamber (AC) decompression in reducing post-intravitreal injection (IVI) intraocular pressure (IOP) spikes.
Methods: A prospective interventional case series conducted at the Iowa City Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) with Institutional Review Board approval. Patients were randomized to receive conventional IVI or IVI with sterile caliper decompression.
Central retinal artery occlusion following surgery for thyroid eye disease: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore)

Department of Ophthalmology, Mianyang Central Hospital, Mianyang, Sichuan, China.
Rationale: Thyroid eye disease (TED) is the most common orbital disorder in adults and significantly affects patient health. Orbital decompression surgery is an important treatment option. Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) after orbital medial wall decompression is rare in patients with TED.

Bleeding within the orbit in the form of a subperiosteal or retrobulbar hematoma is a relatively common complication of trauma and surgery. It affects up to 30% of patients fractures involving the orbital bones. Most cases do not require surgical intervention because they do not cause retinal ischemia or optic nerve neuropathy.

Article Synopsis
- The study assesses the effectiveness of surgical decompression for treating persistent compressive optic neuropathy, investigating how timing impacts outcomes.
- Surgical procedures were performed on rabbits at various intervals post-compression, and outcomes were measured through optical coherence tomography and immunofluorescence.
- Results indicate that earlier surgical intervention significantly improves ganglion cell health and retains more optic nerve axons, suggesting timely decompression helps preserve vision function.
