Intraocular hemorrhage is one of the most serious complications that can occur during a retinal reattachment procedure. We describe a patient who developed a massive suprachoroidal hemorrhage during a scleral buckling procedure with extrusion of intraocular contents through a penetrating keratoplasty incision.

Report of a Case.

—A 62-year-old healthy white woman presented with a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in her left eye on April 26, 1989.
