Summary

Massive suprachoroidal hemorrhage (MSCH) can occur during complex retinal detachment repair using pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). Prompt recognition and avoiding intraoperative decompression are key for managing this severe complication.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Complications

Background:

  • Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) is a common procedure for retinal detachments.
  • Complicated cases present unique surgical challenges and risks.

Observation:

  • Seven eyes developed massive suprachoroidal hemorrhage (MSCH) during or after PPV for retinal detachment.
  • MSCH occurred late in PPV, air fluid exchange, endolaser, cryopexy, and scleral buckling, or progressed from intraoperative detachments.

Findings:

  • Risk factors included multiple scleral buckling surgeries, high myopia, aphakia, and intraocular inflammation.
  • Broad posterior scleral buckles, intraoperative hypotony, and cryopexy were precipitating factors.
  • Six of seven eyes had poor visual outcomes, with no light perception.

Implications:

  • Surgical decompression for intraoperative MSCH should be avoided as it may tamponade bleeding.
  • Understanding risk factors and precipitating factors is crucial for prevention.
  • Management strategies for MSCH during PPV require careful consideration.
