ABSTRACT
We present the case of an 81-year-old woman who developed a bilateral spontaneous suprachoroidal hemorrhage while under treatment with sodium enoxaparin. Temporal suspension of anticoagulant therapy led to an improvement of the choroidal hemorrhage. After three months follow-up, there was a complete reabsorption of the choroidal detachments, but there was a persistent vitreous hemorrhage in the right eye, which had been more severely affected. Pars plana vitrectomy with air tamponade was successfully performed in the right eye. Vision improved to 20/50 in the right eye and 20/20 in the left eye. Suprachoroidal hemorrhage is a rare condition with a poor visual prognosis. Reports on the development of suprachoroidal hemorrhage in patients with no predisposing ocular conditions are scarce, and in none were both eyes affected. The case reported herein is, to the best of our knowledge, the first case of bilateral, simultaneous suprachoroidal hemorrhage without predisposing ocular factors due to treatment with anticoagulants, with a favourable visual outcome.
