Abstract
Clinical case

A case is presented of an 85-year-old woman living in a geriatric residence, who was admitted to the emergency department of our hospital with a spontaneous expulsive choroidal hemorrhage in her left eye. There was no a history of ophthalmic disease, and the patient only reported having intracapsular cataract surgery in both eyes 25 years ago, and that she also became blind in her left eye in the past few years.

Discussion

Non-surgical spontaneous expulsive choroidal hemorrhage is a very rare and disastrous clinical event. The predisposing factors involved are: advancing age, vascular illness (especially atherosclerosis), glaucoma, and severe corneal damage.

Keywords:
Spontaneous expulsive choroidal hemorrhage
Nonsurgical
Corneal damage
Glaucoma
