³Uzm. Dr., Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Göz Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı, İzmir Suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SCH) is a rare condition, defined as blood in the suprachoroidal space, consequent to rupture of the short or long posterior ciliary arteries or vortex veins or their tributaries. Surgically associated SCH may present perioperatively or on the first day postoperatively. Surgical interventions including transscleral drainage of SCH, vitrectomy, gas tamponade or silicone oil tamponade are valuable options in the management of massive SCH to save the eye and possibly improve the otherwise extreme poor prognosis.
