摘要

Rationale: To report a case of 44-year-old man with delayed suprachoroidal hemorrhage (DSCH)2 days after cataract surgery. @@@ Patient concerns: The patient developed sudden onset of ocular pain and reduction of visual acuity on his left eye 2 days after receiving conventional cataract operation. @@@ Diagnoses: The ocular conditions were accessed by best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, slit lamp examination, fundus photography, and B-scan ultrasound. Fundus color photograph revealed a raised choroidal mass and extensive subretinal hemorrhage. B-scan ultrasound also confirmed features of choroidal hemorrhage. Thus, he was diagnosed as DSCH. @@@ Interventions: He received conservative treatments for 1 month. @@@ Outcomes: The involved eye recovered well. @@@ Lessons: DSCH is a rare but dreaded complication occurring in intraocular operations. Conservative managements or surgeries may be beneficial for the recovery of visual acuity.
