Aseptic Orbital Cellulitis as a Complication of Suprachoroidal Hemorrhage

Suprachoroidal hemorrhage is a rare and potentially devastating clinical entity seen in individuals on anticoagulation presenting with severe unilateral eye pain, sudden vision loss, and elevated intraocular pressures. Herein, we report the first case of aseptic orbital cellulitis caused by recurren...

description Suprachoroidal hemorrhage is a rare and potentially devastating clinical entity seen in individuals on anticoagulation presenting with severe unilateral eye pain, sudden vision loss, and elevated intraocular pressures. Herein, we report the first case of aseptic orbital cellulitis caused by recurrent spontaneous suprachoroidal hemorrhage. This case highlights an example of non-infectious orbital cellulitis arising from choroidal pathology in the setting of uncontrolled intraocular pressures and recurrent intraocular bleeding. Surgical intervention with blood drainage should be considered to prevent complications and preserve the globe.
