We present a case of decompression retinopathy with retinal haemorrhages, optic nerve haemorrhages, maculopathy, and decreased visual acuity after trabeculectomy with mitomycin-C.
Decompression retinopathy is a potential complication after glaucoma surgery but has been rarely reported in the world literature. Although these four characteristics have been described separately, in this patient all four occurred together.
