[Retinal hemorrhages following phacotrabeculectomy. Differential diagnosis]. / Hemorragias retinianas tras facotrabeculectomía. Diagnóstico diferencial.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: We report a case of a patient who underwent uneventful facotrabeculectomy. Right after surgery patient she complained of very poor vision, showing hemorrhage spots scattered throughout the retina. Differential diagnosis is studied. CONCLUSION: An ocular decompression retinopathy should be the first diagnosis; however clinical details and diagnosis tests suggest the ocular ischemic syndrome as the reason of the problem.
