    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Literature Analysis

    Background:

    • Dacryohaemorrhoea is a term for bloody tears, listed in medical dictionaries but absent from scientific literature.
    • Ophthalmology textbooks do not typically reference this condition, indicating a gap in established knowledge.

    Observation:

    • Several cases of 'bloody tears' with unknown causes have been reported in ophthalmological journals.
    • This report details a specific instance of dacryohaemorrhoea in a Black (Xhosa) female infant.

    Findings:

    • The aetiology of dacryohaemorrhoea remains diverse and largely unknown.
    • The presented case contributes to the limited documented instances of this rare phenomenon.

    Implications:

    • Further investigation is needed to understand the underlying causes of dacryohaemorrhoea.
    • This case report may prompt increased attention to and research into bloody tear occurrences in clinical practice.
