Purpose:
To report a case of delayed choroidal detachment after treatment with topical latanoprost.
Methods:
Interventional case report. Five years after trabeculectomy in a 91-year-old female, a Holmium laser thermal sclerostomy was performed, and a year later, the patient was started on latanoprost.005% every 24 hours and hydrochloride dorzolamide 2% three times daily.
Results:
Choroidal detachments developed 2.5 years after the sclerostomy; they resolved after discontinuation of the latanoprost and hydrochloride dorzolamide. Subsequently, the patient inadvertently restarted latanoprost. Again, the latanoprost was stopped, with resolution of the choroidal detachments.
Conclusion:
Topical latanoprost may lead to choroidal detachments and hypotony.
