Case Reports:
We report two cases of delayed spontaneous hypotony associated with choroidal detachment and hypotony maculopathy. Both patients had undergone uneventful cataract extractions 10 and 6 years prior to the occurrence of apparently spontaneous hypotony. Trabeculectomy was combined with phacoemulsification in one of them. Both had been receiving timolol at the time of presentation.
Discussion:
Delayed spontaneous hypotony, without recent ocular surgery or trauma, represented a challenge in both the diagnosis and management processes in these patients. We have analysed the main causes.
