“…Obstruction of the trabecular meshwork by erythrocytes, fibrin, debris, and platelets increases the IOP (1). A disruption of the wound healing process could prevent clot formation and allow blood to fill up the trabecular meshwork.…”

“…The accumulation of blood in the anterior chamber is called hyphema. This accumulation can occur due to trauma or intraocular surgery, or it can occur spontaneously (as in rubeosis iridis, juvenile xanthogranuloma, retinoblastoma, metastatic tumors, iris melanoma, myotonic dystrophy, keratouveitis, leukemia, hemophilia, thrombocytopenia, and Von Willebrand disease) (1). Hyphema may cause intraocular pressure (IOP) increases, inflammation, peripheral anterior synechia, optic atrophy, corneal staining, secondary bleeding and accommodative disorder (2).…”

“… 8 Surgical management is required only if medical management fails or as a rule, when true eight-ball hyphema occurs. 8 At presentation, our patient was indicated to surgical intervention OU based on empirical criteria proposed by Read and Goldberg. 8 , 17 …”

“…There are various surgical methods for hyphema management such as limbal paracentesis needle drainage, anterior chamber washout using an irrigating Simcoe cannula, anterior chamber washout using an automated anterior vitrectomy, conventional limbal clot delivery method and trabeculectomy with anterior chamber washout and peripheral iridectomy. 8 For an eight-ball hyphema where surgical management is indicated, procedures other than those described above include injection of urokinase, injection of sodium hyaluronate, cryoextraction, iridectomy and evacuation by vitrectomy instrumentation. 9 13 However, surgical management of an eight-ball hyphema is more challenging than a non-eight-ball hyphema, as the anterior segment is totally obscured.…”

“…A careful ultrasound examination of the eye, by B-scan of the posterior segment and UBM, is mandatory in such cases for a better diagnostic and surgical plane [ 2 , 3 , 4 ]. A delayed surgery, controlling in the meantime spikes of IOP, can be better than an immediate one and less dangerous [ 5 ].…”
