Abstract

Purpose: To report a case of a 60-year-old female with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, presenting with suprachoroidal hemorrhage after vitrectomy. Case summary: A 60-year-old woman visited our clinic complaining of floaters, flashing, and blurred vision. Best-corrected visual acuity was 0.1 in her left eye, and fundus examination of her left eye revealed macula-involved retinal detachment with a retinal break at the superotemporal quadrant. She underwent cataract surgery, 23-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy, and 14% C3F8 gas tamponade under general anesthesia. One hour after anesthesia recovery, she suddenly complained of severe pain in her left eye. The intraocular pressure measured after removal of the pressure patch from her left eye was as high as 58 mmHg. Her ocular pain improved spontaneously within 10 minutes, and the intraocular pressure decreased to 8 mmHg. Fundus examination of her left eye revealed a reddish-brown raised lesion, suggesting suprachoroidal hemorrhage. She was placed in a prone position with a pressure patch over her left eye. Bleeding through the sclerotomy site was observed 1 day after surgery. Subsequently, hemorrhagic choroidal detachment of her left eye continued to decrease without deterioration. Three weeks after surgery, the patient received an intravitreal injection of 100% C3F8 gas into her left eye. At 3 months after surgery, best-corrected visual acuity had improved to 0.8 in her left eye, and the retina was stable. Conclusions: Suprachoroidal hemorrhage may be suspected in a patient complaining of severe ocular pain after vitrectomy.

목적: 유리체절제술을 시행받은 열공망막박리 환자에서 수술 당일 발생한 맥락막상강출혈 1예를 보고하고자 한다. 증례요약: 60세 여자 환자가 1주일 전부터 시작된 좌안 비문증과 광시증, 시력저하를 주소로 내원하였다. 좌안의 최대교정시력은 0.1이었고, 안저검사에서는 황반부를 침범하고 상이측 열공을 동반한 망막박리가 관찰되었다. 전신마취하에 좌안 백내장수술과 23 G 무봉합 유리체절제술, 14% C3F8 가스충전술을 시행하였다. 마취 회복 1시간 뒤 환자는 갑자기 극심한 좌안의 통증을 호소하였고, 압박안대 제거 후에 측정한 안압은 58 mmHg로 높았다. 통증은 10분 이내에 저절로 호전되었으며 다시 측정한 안압은 8 mmHg였다. 안저검사에서 맥락막상강출혈을 시사하는 적갈색의 융기된 병변이 관찰되었다. 압박안대를 한 채 엎드린 자세를 취하도록 하였고, 수술 다음 날에는 공막절개부위를 통한 출혈이 관찰되었다. 이후 출혈성 맥락막박리는 악화 소견 없이 지속적으로 감소하였으며 술 후 3주째에는 유리체강 내 100% C3F8 가스주입술을 추가 시행하였다. 술 후 3개월째 좌안 교정시력은 0.8로 호전되었고 망막은 유착된 상태로 안정적이었다. 결론: 유리체절제술 후 심한 안구통을 호소하는 경우에 맥락막상강출혈을 의심하는 것이 필요하다.
