Article Synopsis
  • Suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SCH) is a serious complication of eye surgery, with a meta-analysis showing an overall incidence of 0.12% (or about 1 in 800 surgeries) among a large population of over 3 million surgeries from 1990 to 2023.
  • Factors like smaller study size and the type of surgery (cataract vs. vitreoretinal) significantly influenced the reported incidence rates of SCH, while the study year did not show a decrease in incidence over 30 years despite advances in surgical techniques.
  • The authors recommend that future studies on SCH should include at least 1,000 surgeries in their population to yield more accurate incidence figures.

We report the clinical course of spontaneous expulsive suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SESCH) in a middle-aged man. A 50-year-old man with a history of uncontrolled hypertension and type II diabetes presented with massive preretinal hemorrhage in the posterior pole of the right eye (RE). Two weeks later, he presented with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and a nearly obliterated anterior chamber with coagulated blood behind the lens in the RE.

Suprachoroidal Hemorrhage.

Ophthalmologica

December 2023

Department of Ophthalmology, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.

Suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SCH) refers to the accumulation of blood in the suprachoroidal space, a relatively uncommon but significant complication that can occur spontaneously, during ophthalmic surgery, or as a consequence of ocular trauma. If left undiagnosed and untreated, SCH can lead to severe vision loss or even blindness. Therefore, it is crucial for ophthalmologists to have a thorough understanding of this complication, taking proactive measures to prevent it during surgery and being knowledgeable about effective management strategies for patients with SCH.
