Retinal hemorrhages in the newborn.

R Bergen, S Margolis

    Annals of Ophthalmology
    |January 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Newborns experiencing birth trauma, like forceps delivery or prolonged labor, have a higher risk of retinal hemorrhages. Cesarean births significantly reduce this risk, highlighting delivery method importance for infant eye health.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neonatology
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Retinal hemorrhages are observed in newborns.
    • Factors contributing to their occurrence require investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify risk factors associated with newborn retinal hemorrhages.
    • To analyze the impact of delivery methods on these hemorrhages.

    Main Methods:

    • Examination of 100 newborns within 24 hours of birth.
    • Statistical analysis of clinical data and delivery circumstances.

    Main Results:

    • 35% of newborns presented with retinal hemorrhages.
    • Forceps delivery, prolonged labor, and asphyxia were significant risk factors.
    • Cesarean section delivery was associated with a lower incidence of retinal hemorrhages.

    Conclusions:

    • Birth trauma and asphyxia are key contributors to neonatal retinal hemorrhages.
    • Delivery method, specifically cesarean section, plays a protective role.
    • Etiologic factors such as low prothrombin levels and increased intracranial pressure warrant further study.
