Management and visual outcome of SCH in vitrectomized eye.

Suprachoroidal hemorrhage is a rare complication of all types of intraocular surgery and is always associated with poor visual outcome or even eye enucleation. Better understanding of SCH during various types of intraocular surgery can help surgeons to avoid this devastating complication and to optimally treat patients. We encountered three cases of SCH in vitrectomized eyes and found that there were some common characteristics compared to SCH developed in other intraocular surgeries. We hypothesized that SCH in vitrectomized eye might be localized, not severe and ended up comparably good without surgical intervention. Then we analyzed the risk factors and incidence, characteristics and severity, management and prognosis of SCH in vitrectomized eye to evaluate the hypothesis.
