  • Title: Recurrent choroidal detachment following combined trabeculectomy and cataract extraction.
    Author: Rachmiel R, Pollack A, Oliver M, Zalish M.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg Lasers; 1996 Sep; 27(9):795-7. PubMed ID: 8878201.
    Abstract:
    Two patients with glaucoma who underwent uneventful trabeculectomy and extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation, experienced late and recurrent choroidal detachment. Both patients received aqueous suppressant therapy before and after surgery. Hypotony and choroidal detachment occurred 7 months and 15 months after the combined surgery. There was no shallowing of the anterior chamber or leakage from the filtering blebs, and there were no signs of inflammation. The choroidal detachment completely resolved in the two patients 4 days and 4 weeks following discontinuation of the aqueous suppressant therapy.
