Abstract

Purpose: To report a rare case of globe rupture following a spontaneous expulsive suprachoroidal hemorrhage without a predisposing event.

Methods: Case report.

Results: A 40-year-old man presented with a 3-week history of episodic eye pain, likely associated with uncontrolled glaucoma, and a spontaneous clot exuding from his right eye without a predisposing event. Notably, the patient had a remote past ocular history of posttraumatic glaucoma and untreated retinal detachment from childhood. He underwent uncomplicated evisceration of the right eye with polymethyl methacrylate implantation.

Conclusions: Spontaneous expulsive suprachoroidal hemorrhage without a predisposing event is an exceedingly rare phenomenon, with only six previously reported cases. It is possible that eyes with a history of trauma, possibly diseased eyewalls, and eyes with high intraocular pressure may be the most susceptible to spontaneous suprachoroidal hemorrhage and consequent globe rupture.

青光眼盲眼自发性脉络膜上腔出血继发球囊破裂：病例报告。

目的：报告一例罕见的自发性脉络膜上腔出血后球体破裂的病例，该病例无诱发因素：方法：病例报告：一名40岁的男性患者有3周的阵发性眼痛病史，可能与未控制的青光眼有关，他的右眼在没有诱发事件的情况下自发渗出血块。值得注意的是，该患者过去曾有过远期的眼部病史，即外伤后青光眼和儿童时期未治疗的视网膜脱离。他接受了并不复杂的右眼剥离术和聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯植入术：结论：无诱因的自发性脉络膜上腔出血是一种极为罕见的现象，此前仅有六例报道。有外伤史、眼球壁可能有病变以及眼压过高的眼睛可能最容易发生自发性脉络膜上腔出血并导致眼球破裂。
