Sudden lowering of intraocular pressure (IOP) after surgery can cause retinal hemorrhages in patients with prolonged high IOP. Careful IOP management is crucial to prevent this complication.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Glaucoma Surgery
  • Retinal Vascular Complications

Background:

  • Steroid-induced glaucoma can lead to persistently high intraocular pressure (IOP).
  • Medical management may be insufficient for severe, prolonged cases of glaucoma.
  • Surgical intervention, such as trabeculectomy, is sometimes necessary to control IOP.

Observation:

  • A 15-year-old female presented with severe, bilateral steroid-induced glaucoma.
  • Despite maximal medical therapy, IOP remained critically elevated for four months.
  • Bilateral trabeculectomy was performed due to refractory high IOP.

Findings:

  • Postoperatively, unilateral diffuse retinal hemorrhages occurred in the right eye.
  • No retinal hemorrhages were observed in the left eye.

  • The retinal hemorrhages resolved completely within two months without sequelae.

    • Implications:

    • Abrupt IOP reduction following glaucoma surgery may precipitate retinal capillary rupture.
    • Altered autoregulation in eyes with chronic high IOP might predispose to hemorrhage.
    • Judicious IOP management is essential during and after glaucoma surgery, particularly in cases of long-standing, severe IOP elevation.
