Abstract
BOJADOS, S. et al. Choroidal detachment associated with delayed spontaneous ocular hypotony. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2007, vol.82, n.6, pp.381-384. ISSN 0365-6691.
Case reports: We report two cases of delayed spontaneous hypotony associated with choroidal detachment and hypotony maculopathy. Both patients had undergone uneventful cataract extractions 10 and 6 years prior to the occurrence of apparently spontaneous hypotony. Trabeculectomy was combined with phacoemulsification in one of them. Both had been receiving timolol at the time of presentation. Discussion: Delayed spontaneous hypotony, without recent ocular surgery or trauma, represented a challenge in both the diagnosis and management processes in these patients. We have analysed the main causes.
Keywords : Hypotony; choroidal detachment; hypotony maculopathy; timolol; filtration surgery.
