Popis: Spontaneous expulsive suprachoroidal hemorrhage is a rare ocular condition, which usually occurs after sudden decompression of the eyewall. Most of the cases of expulsive hemorrhage reported had a predisposing glaucoma with the combination of corneal pathology. We are reporting a case of spontaneous expulsive suprachoroidal hemorrhage in a glaucoma patient probably due to perpetuated inflammatory reaction and frequent eye rubbing induced by allergic reaction to topical alpha adrenergic agonist in a compromised cornea.
