Abstract
A 30-year-old male with Marfan syndrome underwent pars plana lensectomy and vitrectomy combined with silicone oil injection for the treatment of retin al detachment with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). Four months after vitrectomy, the silicone oil was removed using an anterior chamber maintai ner (AC) and a self-sealing clear corneal incision at the upper temporal qu adrant. Suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SCH) developed at the end of the operati on. It was limited to the nasal side of the retina. Suprachoroidal hemorrha ge remained to be limited and did not show progression.
