[Surgical treatment of traumatic suprachoroidal hemorrhage].

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the methods and effects of surgery for traumatic suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SH).

METHODS

Seventeen cases with SH caused by ocular rupture underwent secondary surgery. With BSS irrigating into vitreous cavity, we drained SH through pars plana incisions and performed routine vitrectomy with gas or silicone oil tamponade.

RESULTS

SH drainage was effective in 17 cases. During the follow-up of 3 - 27 months, the eye balls survived and the visual acuities were improved in 15 eyes (88.2%).

CONCLUSION

With the surgical treatment of vitrectomy combined with SH drainage, most of the eyes with traumatic SH can be saved and their visual acuities recover for some degrees.
