Hyphema is a result of blunt or penetrating trauma to the orbit that increases intraocular pressure, causing tears in the vessels of the ciliary body and iris. Certain medical conditions—such as leukemia , hemophilia , Von Willebrand disease , and sickle cell disease —put patients at risk of developing hyphema, as does the use of ...
Multiple complications are known to occur following eye injury: corneal scarring, hyphema, iridodialysis, post-traumatic glaucoma, uveitis cataract, vitreous hemorrhage and retinal detachment. The complications risk is high with retinal tears, penetrating injuries and severe blunt trauma.
Hyphema is the medical condition of bleeding in the anterior chamber of the eye between the iris and the cornea. [1] People usually first notice a loss or decrease in vision. [ 1 ] The eye may also appear to have a reddish tinge, or it may appear as a small pool of blood at the bottom of the iris in the cornea.
Elevated intraocular pressure can be caused by pigment dispersion, uveitis, hyphema or direct blocking of aqueous humor drainage system. [ 3 ] UGH syndrome is most commonly caused by anterior chamber IOLs and sulcus IOLs, but it can be seen with any type of IOL, including posterior chamber lenses and cosmetic iris implants.
Amsler sign also known as Amsler–Verrey sign is the name of the diagnostic finding seen in people with Fuchs heterochromic iridocyclitis (FHI). It is described as presence of blood in the aspirated aqueous fluid, in paracentesis of the anterior chamber, and is caused due to iris atrophy usually seen in FHI and exposure of the fragile iris vasculature to the aqueous fluid.
Spontaneous bleeding occurs more commonly over the age of 50 while the traumatic type occurs more often in young males. Generally no specific treatment is required and the condition resolves over two to three weeks. Artificial tears may be used to alleviate irritation. [2]
USF got the win despite being outgained 441-291 and gaining only 1.6 yards per rush. Its biggest plays came on special teams and defense, including a 93-yard kick return touchdown by Ta'Ron Keith ...
Purtscher's retinopathy likely involves complex pathophysiology, with several contributing factors, including complement-mediated aggregates, fat, air, fibrin clots and platelet clumps. [2] The diseases leads to the formation of cotton wool spots in the retina, a finding observed in several other diseases, and atrophy of the optic nerve .
