A rare complication following cataract surgery, endocapsular blood effusion, was observed one year post-operation. This case highlights potential delayed bleeding after Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy, managed conservatively.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Complications

Background:

  • Extracapsular cataract surgery can rarely lead to complications like blood effusion.
  • Endocapsular blood effusion is typically discovered due to a sudden decrease in visual acuity.

Observation:

  • A 76-year-old patient presented with endocapsular blood effusion one year after cataract surgery.
  • The effusion, discovered during a visual acuity examination, was linked to prior eye trauma from Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy three months earlier.

Findings:

  • The bleeding likely originated from a vascular injury caused by direct contusion, potentially involving the ciliary body, iridocorneal angle, or vitreous.
  • The effusion was contained within the capsular bag and anterior hyaloid space without intravitreous diffusion.
  • The condition showed spontaneous, favorable progression over two months with reduced effusion and improved visual acuity.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of delayed endocapsular blood effusion following cataract surgery and Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy.
  • Conservative management (observation) appears effective for such rare cases.
  • Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy is a potential treatment option if effusion resorption is slow.
