Intracorneal haemorrhage

J G Renardel de Lavalette, G van Rij

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A large corneal hematoma caused pupillary block in a 63-year-old woman. Surgical evacuation restored corneal shape and eye pressure, but vision required a transplant.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Vascular Biology

    Background:

    • Corneal hematomas are rare, particularly in vascularized corneas.
    • Pupillary block is a critical condition leading to elevated intraocular pressure.

    Observation:

    • A 63-year-old woman presented with a significant corneal hematoma in her vascularized cornea.
    • The hematoma's size led to the development of pupillary block.

    Findings:

    • Evacuation of the corneal hematoma successfully restored corneal morphology.
    • Intraocular pressure was normalized following the hematoma evacuation.

    Implications:

    • Corneal hematoma evacuation can resolve pupillary block and normalize intraocular pressure.
    • Restoration of vision in such cases may necessitate corneal transplantation.
