title: Hemorrhagic choroidal detachment with anterior vitreoretinal adhesions.
abstract: We present three cases of large intraoperative or postoperative hemorrhagic choroidal detachment with subsequent adherence of the retina to anterior segment structures. Surgical management involved bimanual vitrectomy through anterior sclerotomy sites and dissection within the anterior segment. Successful retinal reattachment was achieved in two of these cases (18-months' follow up). In the third case, the retina remained attached for 4 months but then redetached.
