Expulsive choroidal haemorrhage--a clinical and pathological review.
This paper describes two cases of expulsive choroidal haemorrhage (ECH) where the final corrected visual acuity was 6/5. The management of one case consisted simply of vitrectomy; and the other of suprachoroidal drainage of blood followed by vitrectomy. The pathological findings in a series of eyes enucleated following ECH are also described. The literature is reviewed with regard to the aetiology, pathology and management of ECH.
