Delayed suprachoroidal hemorrhage mimicking acute retrobulbar hemorrhage.

The signs and symptoms of an acute retrobulbar hemorrhage include sudden ocular pain, explosive unilateral proptosis, limitation of extraocular movements and loss of vision. Retrobulbar hemorrhage is a well-described complication of retrobulbar anesthetic injection. We report an unusual case of a presumed acute retrobulbar hemorrhage following intraocular surgery which, on further testing, was found to be a delayed suprachoroidal hemorrhage.
