The purpose of this paper was to present the case of an unusual late complication of filtering glaucoma surgery. A massive choroidal hemorrhage occurred 5 years after trabeculectomy and extracapsular cataract extraction. The diagnosis was confirmed by MRI examination. Improvement in choroidal status and in visual acuity (from hand motions to 6/12 with aphakic correction of 12 diopters) was observed during three weeks of medication. The retina and the choroid remained attached during two years of observation.
