[Expulsive hemorrhage in cataract extraction].
This article reports on six cases of massive expulsive hemorrhage during intracapsular cataract extraction (incidence = 0.17%). Some of the known risk factors are old age, hypertony, glaucoma, and an insufficient decrease in intraocular pressure following oculopression prior to surgery. Drainage of the suprachoroidal hemorrhage, closure of the wound and reformation of the anterior chamber are necessary surgical interventions. In one case the treated eye was saved and a visual acuity of 0.1 achieved.
