“…Nontraumatic cases accounted for 17.5%. These findings are in agreement with previous studies by Spirn et al [ 28 ] and Rishi et al [ 27 ] who demonstrated that trauma was the most common cause of vitreous hemorrhage in pediatric age group (73.1% and 68.5%, resp.).…”

“…On literature review, different causes have been published, but most of these publications are either case reports or a small series describing particular group of patients or different modalities of treatment [ 6 – 26 ]. To the best of our knowledge, there are only two studies that investigated vitreous hemorrhage as a separate entity in children in English literature and these studies showed different causes than that published in adults [ 27 , 28 ]. In these two studies trauma was the most common cause of vitreous hemorrhage in children accounting for 73.1% [ 28 ] and 68.5% [ 27 ].…”

“…Spirn et al reported that the most common cause of nontraumatic vitreous hemorrhage in children was regressed retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) accounting for 5.9% [ 28 ]. In a recent study from India, Rishi et al demonstrated that idiopathic retinal periphlebitis was the most common cause in eyes with nontraumatic vitreous hemorrhage in children accounting for 12.6% [ 27 ]. Because little is known about vitreous hemorrhage in children, we conducted this retrospective study to investigate etiology and visual and anatomic outcomes of vitreous hemorrhage in pediatric age group.…”

Purpose. To identify and study causes of vitreous hemorrhage (VH) in pediatric age group and to investigate factors predicting visual and anatomical outcomes. Procedure. A retrospective review of patients aged 16 years or less with the diagnosis of vitreous hemorrhage from January 2005 until December 2010. Results. A total number of 230 patients (240 eyes) were identified. Traumatic vitreous hemorrhage accounted for 82.5%. In cases of accidental trauma, final visual acuity of 20/200 was significantly associated with visual acuity of ≥20/200 at presentation and the absence of retinal detachment at last follow-up. Patients with nontraumatic vitreous hemorrhage were significantly younger with higher rates of enucleation/evisceration/exenteration and retinal detachment at last follow-up compared to traumatic cases. Conclusion. Trauma is the most common cause of VH in pediatric age group. In this group, initial visual acuity was the most important predictor for visual outcome, and the presence of retinal detachment is a negative predictor for final good visual outcome. The outcome is significantly worse in nontraumatic cases compared to traumatic cases.
