Purpose: To report a delayed suprachoroidal hemorrhage following Nd:YAG laser goniopuncture (LGP) in an eye with a previous deep sclerectomy.
Methods: Case report.
Results: A 75-year-old woman with advanced primary open-angle glaucoma underwent LGP due to unsatisfactory intraocular pressure (IOP) in her left eye, 1 month after undergoing deep sclerectomy in the same eye. Delayed suprachoroidal hemorrhage occurred the day after LGP execution.
Conclusions: Nd:YAG laser goniopuncture is often performed to enhance IOP control following deep sclerectomy. Although LGP is usually effective and safe, severe complications, such as delayed suprachoroidal hemorrhage, may occur after its execution.

Incidence and risk factors of perioperative suprachoroidal hemorrhage: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Surv Ophthalmol
November 2024
Scheie Eye Institute, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, United States.
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.
Perioperative suprachoroidal hemorrhage and its surgical management: a systematic review.
Int J Retina Vitreous

Department of Ophthalmology, Unidade Local de Saúde de São João, Alameda Prof. Hernâni Monteiro, Porto, 4200-319, Portugal.
Purpose: Suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SCH) is a rare but severely feared sight-threatening complication of intraocular surgery, and its management remains debatable. We intended to summarize the existing surgical management options regarding perioperative SCH, describing different techniques and their respective visual outcomes.
Methods: A systematic literature search of articles published since 1st January 2011 until 31st December 2022 was performed using MEDLINE (PubMed) and Scopus.
Early Drainage of Suprachoroidal Hemorrhage Combined with Surgical Correction of Hypotony after Trabeculectomy.

Department of Ophthalmology, Dr Rajendra Prasad Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.
Aims And Background: Delayed suprachoroidal hemorrhage (DSCH) is a vision-threatening complication of intraocular surgeries with a higher prevalence in postglaucoma filtering surgeries. Through these case series of trabeculectomy complicated with DSCH, we aim to emphasize that correction of hypotony (inciting factor) is fundamental for complete resolution and prevention of recurrence.
Case Description: All three glaucoma patients underwent trabeculectomy surgery followed by DSCH on postoperative day 1.

Glaucoma remains a leading cause of blindness globally. Minimally invasive treatment techniques are rapidly expanding the availability of therapeutic options for glaucoma. These include devices aimed at enhancing outflow through the subconjunctival space, Schlemm's canal, and suprachoroidal space, sustained-release drug delivery devices, and extraocular devices aiming to reduce glaucomatous progression through other novel means.
