Abstract

A case of sickle cell hemoglobinopathy diagnosed after traumatic hyphema Hyphema is traditionally considered as a benign condition by ophthalmologists and expected to disappear within a few days. However, hyphema developing after blunt trauma may be potentially sight threatening in some cases. Vision-threatening complications of traumatic hyphema are well known in blacks and children with hemoglobinopathy. This report describes a previously healthy case who had marked elevation of intraocular pressure due to a minimal hyphema resulting from blunt trauma, and we emphasize that sickle cell trait hemoglobinopathy should be considered in the differential diagnosis of traumatic hyphema in also white

Özet

Hifema, göz hekimleri tarafından genellikle birkaç gün içerisinde düzelen benign bir durum olarak değerlendirilir. Ancak, künt travma sonrası gelişen hifemalar, bazı olgularda görmeyi tehdit edici olabilir. Çocuklarda ve siyah ırkta hemoglobinopati varlığında, künt travmanın görmeyi tehdit eden komplikasyonları iyi bilinen bir durumdur. Bu yazıda, daha öncesinde bilinen herhangi bir sistemik hastalığı bulunmayan, künt travmaya bağlı minimal hifema sonrası göz içi basıncı artan bir olgu sunulmuş, beyaz ırktan ve yetişkin, travmatik hifemalı olgularda da ayırıcı tanıda orak hücre taşıyıcı hemoglobinopatinin göz önünde bulundurulması gerektiği vurgulanmıştır.
