Serous supraciliochoroidal effusion after trabeculotomy ab externo

Abstract

A 20-year-old man underwent uneventful trabeculotomy ab externo for open-angle glaucoma. One week postoperatively, ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) revealed annular serous ciliochoroidal effusion and communicating fluid pass between the suprachoroidal space and excisted trabecular meshwork. Four months after surgery, intraocular pressure was well controlled without medication. The UBM revealed suprachoroidal effusive space and no fluid pass. Suprachroidal effusion should be considered a possible complication after trabeculotomy ab externo.
