To report a case of choroidal congestion after trabeculectomy. This is a retrospective case report. An 85-year-old male with advanced open-angle glaucoma underwent trabeculectomy in both eyes and during follow-up he complained visual impairment in the right eye. Thus Spectral-domain Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) was performed and showed choroidal congestion in one eye after one month from the surgery together with a decrease of visual acuity. Symptoms and exam findings resolved with systemic steroids after 6-month follow-up. OCT is essential for detecting choroidal congestion. This finding can be a possible complication after trabeculectomy and can benefit from steroid treatment.

Abstract
To report a case of choroidal congestion after trabeculectomy. This is a retrospective case report. An 85-year-old male with advanced open-angle glaucoma underwent trabeculectomy in both eyes and during follow-up he complained visual impairment in the right eye. Thus Spectral-domain Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) was performed and showed choroidal congestion in one eye after one month from the surgery together with a decrease of visual acuity. Symptoms and exam findings resolved with systemic steroids after 6-month follow-up. OCT is essential for detecting choroidal congestion. This finding can be a possible complication after trabeculectomy and can benefit from steroid treatment.
