Abstract
PURPOSE: To report delayed hyphema and intravitreal blood as complicat ions following intrableb autologous blood injection after trabeculecto my. METHODS: Case report.

RESULTS: Three days after the blood injection, a hyphema formed and subsequently dispersed into the vitreous. CONCLU SIONS: Although immediate hyphema from autologous blood injection is c ommon, hyphema may be delayed and associated with intravitreal blood.
