The authors describe a 59-year-old woman who had a traumatic wound rupture 6 months following penetrating keratoplasty. While she was in the pre-operative holding area awaiting surgical repair, hemorrhagic choroidal detachments developed. Digital pressure was initiated on diagnosis of imminent expulsion of intraocular contents and maintained until repair of the wound rupture could be performed. Four months postoperatively, the patient's vision was 20/80 and her central pachymetry was 585 microns. This case demonstrates that a delayed-onset expulsive choroidal hemorrhage may be successfully managed with simple and rapid intervention based on knowledge of the disease process.
