1. INTRODUCTION
Suprachoroidal hemorrhage is a devastating complication which is associated with all
types of intraocular surgery (1-12) or penetrating trauma (13-15). Suprachoroidal
hemorrhage is most commonly seen following glaucoma filtering surgery (16-18). It
can occur with or without expulsion of ocular contents. Suprachoroidal hemorrhage
associated with expulsion of intraocular contents is generally termed an expulsive hemor-
rhage and if it occurs in an intact eye it is termed a non-expulsive choroidal hemorrhage.
Suprachoroidal hemorrhage can occur both intraoperatively and postoperatively (19,20).
