Few cases of isolated spontaneous hyphema in the newborn have been reported. A case of a term vaginally delivered female newborn who was diagnosed as having a hyphema in the left eye 18 hours after birth is presented. Delivery was complicated with fetal head malposition and the delivery was prolonged. The mother was nulliparous and without significant medical history. The hyphema resolved within 3 days without complications or sequela. The authors review the literature of spontaneous newborn hyphema and link an association with fetal head malposition. .

A rare case of spontaneous hyphema secondary to gestational alloimmune liver disease.

Hyphema is rarely seen in neonates. Although most cases are secondary to instrument-assisted delivery, neonatal hyphema can occur spontaneously or result from an underlying coagulopathy. We report the case of an infant who was born with unilateral hyphema and was subsequently found to have gestational alloimmune liver disease-a condition where maternal antibodies attack the infant's liver, leading to a hypocoagulable state.

Objective: Ocular hemorrhages (OHs) may cause visual disturbances and incidence vary from 18 to 39% in newborns. Precipitated/instrumental delivery and perinatal asphyxia were predefined risk factors. Acidosis can interfere with coagulation and disrupt the pressure of ocular capillaries and put infants with moderate acidosis with or without hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy at risk for OH.

Prcis: Angle procedures are safe and relatively effective for neonatal onset PCG. Watchful delay in intervention to close to the second month of life is helpful in ensuring diagnosis and making surgery more successful and easier.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the surgical outcomes of visco-circumferential-suture-trabeculotomy (VCST) to rigid-probe double-entry viscotrabeculotomy (DEVT) and rigid-probe single-entry viscotrabeculotomy (SEVT) in infants with neonatal-onset primary congenital glaucoma (PCG).
Purpose: To investigate the outcome of viscocanalostomy combined with trabeculotomy (VCO+tbo) in primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) with history of failed trabeculotomy.
Methods: In this prospective study, VCO+tbo was performed in 75 eyes of 46 patients with PCG who had not responded adequately to one angle surgery. Success was defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) of 6-21 mm Hg and at least 20% IOP drop at the last postoperative visit with (qualified) or without (complete) glaucoma medications.
