[Expulsive hemorrhage (report of 2 cases)].
Two cases of expulsive haemorrhage consecutive to an operation of intumescent cataract responsible of major ocular overpressure (60 and 70 mmHg) are reported by the authors. No other risk factor has been found in our patients, one of 45 years old and the other 72 years old. First nor the operative wound suture neither the posterior sclerotomy were stitched, because of the inability to discover the site of choroidal haematoma with quat amount of blood in the operative field. The second reason was the use of an inadequate material of suture (vicryl 9/0). Finally both cases presented were eyes without any light perception. The final phase results in phtysis phenomena.
