Resumen

CAMBAS ANDREU, Arelys Ariocha et al. Trauma hyphema in a patient with hemoglobinopathy. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2018, vol.31, n.4, pp.67-73. ISSN 0864-2176.

Trauma hyphema is the presence of blood in the anterior chamber and may occur in open or closed eyeball traumas as well as coexist in other lesions. This is the case of a Black male patient aged 52 years, who suffered a blunt trauma in his right eye causing hyphema and requiring hospitalization. Despite the conventional medical treatment, the recovery was unfavorable since he presented with late rebleeding. Due to the above-mentioned condition, he was performed a hemoglobin electrophoresis study and he received a systemic treatment with antifibrinolytics. Hemorrhage disappeared after 48 hours of treatment. It was concluded that the use of antifibrinolytics is effective for the treatment of post-trauma hyphema in patients with hemoglobinopathy. Key words: Hyphema; antifibrinolytics; hemoglobinopathy.

Palabras clave : Hipema; antifibrinolíticos; hemoglobinopatías.
