PURPOSE: Two cases of ocular decompression retinopathy associated with glaucoma filtering surgery are described. CONCLUSIONS: Both patients were young males, with intraocular pressures of 35 and 40 mmHg before surgery. The retinal hemorrhages resolved, and only in the case in which it was possible to estimate the visual acuity, did it improve significantly. In the few cases that have been reported, most involved young males with markedly high intraocular pressures before surgery and who were sometimes myopic. LA: Spanish
