  • Title: Vitreous hemorrhages and disseminated intravascular coagulation in the newborn.
    Author: Wiznia RA, Price J.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 1976 Aug; 82(2):222-6. PubMed ID: 949072.
    Abstract:
    Of 164 consecutive newborns seen in consultations, three babies had either a preretinal or a vitreous hemorrhage, a rare occurrence. Two of these babies had a mild form of disseminated intravascular coagulation. The hemorrhages cleared within a few months after birth. Each of the three babies was premature, had a respiratory distress syndrome, and was born to a primiparous mother. The possibility of a coagulation defect causing intraocular hemorrhage in newborns should be considered along with the tranditional mechanical theories.
