Abstract

Vitreous hemorrhage is an uncommon cause of decreased vision in children. We report a 3-year-old child with bilateral vitreous hemorrhage secondary to an isolated platelet factor 3 (PF-3) availability defect. Prophylactic infusion of platelet-rich plasma followed by pars plana vitrectomy in both eyes resulted in an excellent surgical and visual outcome. This report emphasizes the importance of exhaustive hematological and platelet function studies in a child presenting with bilateral vitreous hemorrhage and its implications on the management of present and future bleeding episodes.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
