title: [Intraoperative explosive choroidal hemorrhage (report of four cases)].
abstract: Intraoperative explosive choroidal hemorrhage (ECH) is a rare, but severe complication of intraocular surgery. This complication often occurs during or after intraocular surgery. We report four cases that developed this complication during surgery. Once the complication occurs, we should use the dehydration medicine intravenously, suture the incision, application of pressure directly to the eye and incise the postsclera. If the bleeding can't be stopped, enucleation is the indication.
