Abstract
The signs and symptoms of an acute retrobulbar hemorrhage include sudd en ocular pain, explosive unilateral proptosis, limitation of extraocu lar movements and loss of vision. Retrobulbar hemorrhage is a well-des cribed complication of retrobulbar anesthetic injection.(4) We report an unusual case of a presumed acute retrobulbar hemorrhage following i ntraocular surgery which, on further testing, was found to be a delaye d suprachoroidal hemorrhage.
