MIQUELI RODRIGUEZ, Maritza et al. Late choroidal detachment after cataract surgery with phacoemulsification in glaucoma patients. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2018, vol.31, n.2, pp. 1-8. ISSN 1561-3070.

Choroidal detachment is a cause of and predisposing factor for marked ocular hypotony. A description is provided of two patients undergoing glaucoma surgery by simple trabeculectomy technique, with more than five years of evolution, under drug treatment with 0.5% timolol collyrium twice daily, intervened for senile cataract with phacoemulsification technique, without any intra- or immediate post-operative complications, who presented with sudden visual acuity reduction two months after surgery, due to choroidal detachment without anterior chamber loss, associated to ocular hypotony and maculopathy. The possible causes are analyzed and appropriate treatment is indicated. Satisfactory evolution is finally achieved.

Palabras clave : glaucoma; trabeculectomy; phacoemulsification.
