Suprachoroidal haemorrhages are rare, and most commonly associated with intraocular surgery. Anticoagulant therapy and cardiovascular disease are known risk factors. Spontaneous suprachoroidal haemorrhages (SSCH) have only been reported a few times and have poor prognoses. We report of such a case, which was not associated with intraocular surgery, trauma, or anti coagulation therapy. An 85 year old female patient presented with sudden loss of vision in her right eye early morning with a 20 minute history of pain in the eye. BP was 197/94. on examination a kissing balloon choroidal haemorrhages were seen in superior and inferior hemispheres. Vision was log MAR 1.38, IOP 32 mm of Hg. IOP lowering treatment was started and patient was advised control of BP.
This case is still under follow up and is being reported as is a very rare occurence
