摘要:

Purpose.To present a 90-year-old patient with spontaneous expulsive suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SESCH). This unique case suggests a mechanism of SESCH, which is still under debate.Methods.The patient, who had corneal inflammatory disease and diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, and glaucoma, presented with active ocular bleeding and expulsion of intraocular tissues. Almost the entire cornea was absent, except for several small and irregular areas in its periphery. Histopathologic evaluation of the eviscerated contents was performed.Results.Clinicopathologic evaluation revealed acute inflammation of the corneal remains as well as intraocular inflammation. Inflammatory necrosis of choroidal vessels was evident.Conclusion.The findings point to the assumption that choroidal bleeding, secondary to vascular inflammatory necrosis, was the initial event in this case of spontaneous expulsive suprachoroidal hemorrhage. Presumedly, the intraocular pressure level was very high owing to continuous bleeding, which could result in a very large, rather than localized, tearing of the peripherally inflamed cornea.
