Abstract

A choroid detachment occurs most commonly after surgical operation for cataract, glaucoma, and retinal detachment. It is fairly characteristic for postoperative choroidal edema to be accompanied by hypotonia and a shallow anterior chamber. We have recently experienced 3 cases of choroid detachment after cataract operation, and acase of choroid detachment combined with retinal detachment after trabeculectomy. They were also accompanied by hypotonia and shallow anterior chamber, but had not would leakage. Among 4 cases, a case of choroid detachment was performed suprachoroidal tapping, the remaining were treated with prednisolone, cycloplegics, and pressure dressing. They were not of consequence and subsided without being noticed. A brief review of relating literatures was described.
