Acute Onset Optic Disc Hemorrhage Following Pharmacologic Mydriasis.
Summary
Cycloplegia may cause subtle shifts in vitreous and lamina cribrosa position that may result in the formation of optic DHs in susceptible glaucomatous eyes.
Abstract
PURPOSE
The aim was to report 2 unusual cases of optic disc hemorrhage (DH) occurring following pharmacologic mydriasis.
OBSERVATION
A 78-year-old woman and 60-year-old man with primary open angle glaucoma developed optic DHs shortly after pupillary dilation.
CONCLUSION AND IMPORTANCE
Cycloplegia may cause subtle shifts in vitreous and lamina cribrosa position that may result in the formation of optic DHs in susceptible glaucomatous eyes.
