Intra-operative hyphema: a complication of retinal detachment surgery with the Choyce pseudo-phakos.
During retinal reattachment surgery in an eye with a Choyce pseudo-phakos a large hyphema developed. The probable mechanism was rupture of blood vessels in the angle of the anterior chamber during drainage of sub-retinal fluid as all the eye structures collapsed around the rigid pseudo-phakos.
