Blindness Associated With Haemorrhage

Waking Up Blind in the ICU: A Case Report of Ischemic Optic Neuropathy in a Burn Patient

“…Frequent events in these reported patients include ARDS requiring high levels of oxygen, acute anemia requiring a blood transfusion, and several episodes of sepsis requiring multiple pressors. Several publications have identified the association between hemorrhagic shock and ION outside the burn population [4-7]. In our case, the patient had an episode of hemorrhagic shock when he bled from his donor sites after becoming refractory to epinephrine soaks.…”

Bilateral Orbital Hemorrhage Induced by Labor

“…Several case reports of ischemic optic neuropathy resulting from hemorrhage have been reported; approximately 30% are the result of uterine hemorrhage. Visual symptoms ranged from blurred vision to total vision loss (8,9). Johnston et al (10) suggested that the locus of optic nerve infarction after a hypotensive episode might depend on preexisting risk factors.…”
