Abstract:
Critically ill patients cannot complain about eye problems. Eyecare is often overlooked in the intensive care units (ICUs) because treatment is mainly focused on failures of organ which results in eye complications which are preventable. Therefore, we report a case of a patient admitted to the ICU who developed unusual bilateral hemorrhagic chemosis. Although, chemosis has been encountered often in the ICU, hemorrhagic chemosis without prior direct trauma is unusual.
