Ocular involvement in disseminated intravascular coagulopathy. 1975

D G Cogan

Seven cases illustrate the ocular pathology of disseminated intravascular coagulopathy in its several stages, and correlate these changes with the clinical manifestations. The prime abnormalities consisted of detachments of the retina, vacuolar disruption of the pigment epithelium, choroidal hemorrhage, and, most importantly, thrombotic occlusion of the choriocapillaris and of the juxtaposed vessels in the submacular and peripapillary regions. The changes were characteristically symmetrical in the two eyes.

It may occur after an uncomplicated cataract extraction, but it is seen more often if vitreous humor has been lost during surgery.

D004211 Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation A disorder characterized by procoagulant substances entering the general circulation causing a systemic thrombotic process. The activation of the clotting mechanism may arise from any of a number of disorders. A majority of the patients manifest skin lesions, sometimes leading to PURPURA FULMINANS.
