Abstract

CAMARA-CASTILLO, H.G.; NAVARRO-LOPEZ, P.  and  RIVERA-SEMPERTEGUI, J.. Choroidal effusion and retinal detachment after capsulotomy with YAG-LASER. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2006, vol.81, n.6, pp.333-336. ISSN 0365-6691.

Case report: A 74-year-old woman presented complaining of blurred vision in her left eye. She had an anterior chamber lens in both eyes and an opaque posterior capsule in her left eye, for which a YAG-LASER capsulotomy was performed. Thirteen days later she re-presented with a choroidal effusion and a retinal detachment requiring surgery. Discussion: There is no consensus as to the exact time at which a capsulotomy should be done. Timing of the procedure requires evaluation as a whole and consideration of the potential complications of IOL dislocation, recurrent uveitis, ocular hypertension and the most devastating choroidal effusion and retinal detachment.

Keywords : Capsulotomy; choroidal effusion; retinal detachment.
