Abstract

Haemolacria or bloody tears is a rare clinical condition caused by various ocular and systemic conditions, as well as pharmacologic and idiopathic etiologies. We report a case of patient admitted with recurrent bilateral haemolacria. A 14-yearold girl was admitted to our clinic with complaints of bloody tears for 8 months in both eyes. The bloody tears were not associated with her menstrual cycle. Blood stained discharge from punctum was not observed during compression of either nasolacrimal duct. Nasolacrimal duct dacryocystography and gradient-echo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies were normal. Intranasal endoscopic evaluation was normal. Further evaluations for underlying causes were unremarkable. There was no abnormality on the ophthalmological and radiological investigations. The patient was diagnosed with idiopathic haemolacria.Patients admitted with complaints of bloody tears should be evaluated with a detailed history focusing on etiologic factors, ocular examination, and nasal and paranasal examination.

Özet

Hemolakriya veya kanlı gözyaşları, çeşitli göz ve sistemik koşullar yanı sıra farmakolojik ve idiyopatik nedenlere bağlı nadir bir klinik durumdur. Biz tekrarlayan bilateral haemolacria ile başvuran hastayı rapor ettik. 14 yaşındaki bir kız, her iki gözünde 8 ay kanlı gözyaşları şikayetleri ile kliniğimize başvurdu. Kanlı gözyaşları adet döngüsü ile ilişkili değildi. nazolakrimal kanala bası esnasında punktumdan kan lekeli deşarj gözlenmedi. Nazolakrimal kanal dakriyosistografi ve gradient-eko manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) çalışmaları normaldi. Altta yatan nedenler için yapılan daha fazla değerlendirmelerde bir özellik yoktu. Oftalmolojik ve radyolojik incelemelerde hiçbir anormallik yoktu. Kanlı gözyaşları şikayeti ile başvuran hastalar etyolojik faktörlere odaklanarak, ayrıntılı öykü, göz, nazal ve paranazal muayene ile değerlendirilmelidir.
