Popis: A case of bilateral ocular decompression retinopathy (ODR) is presented on a patient with steroid-induced glaucoma, after immediate postoperative period trabeculectomy with mitomycin C; we observed a sudden decrease of vision due to the presence of multiple superficial retinal hemorrhages that resolved completely 2 weeks after the postoperative period. ODR is a rare complication after glaucoma surgery. Although it has been described in the literature, this case shows an unusual presentation, bilateral and consecutive in a patient with steroid-induced glaucoma.
