| Abstract: |
purpose of the current study is to report outcomes of suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SCH) after anterior segment surgery at a single institution, and to identify clinical features associated with visual prognosis. Methods and Analysis: Retrospective consecutive case series of patients with SCH occurring after anterior segment surgery. Results: The study includes 112 eyes of 112 patients between 2014 and 2020. There were 76 cases of non-appositional SCH versus 36 cases of appositional SCH. The mean presenting visual acuity for patients with non-appositional versus appositional SCH was 2.03 logMAR (SD 0.78) versus 2.39 logMAR (SD 0.43), respectively. Visual acuity outcomes generally remained poor at last follow-up: 64 (58%) patients had a visual acuity (VA) of ≤ 20/200, including 19 (17%) with light perception (LP), and 11 (10%) with no light perception (NLP). Regarding management of non-appositional versus appositional SCH, observation was selected in 46 (61%) vs 12 (33%), delayed drainage in 14 (18%) vs 15 (42%), delayed pars plana vitrectomy in 16 (21%) vs 13 (36%), and VA at last follow-up was 1.2 versus 1.86 logMAR (p=0.002). In patients that were observed, both appositional SCH (p=0.01) and duration of apposition (p=0.04) were correlated with worse outcome. Conclusion: Appositional SCH was associated with poorer visual outcomes compared to non-appositional SCH. Observation remains a reasonable management strategy for non-appositional SCH.
