Recurrent hemorrhage in traumatic hyphema. 1978

H W Skalka

A retrospective review of hospital records reveals that over 90% of recurrent bleeds in traumatic hyphema occur at night. It is postulated that rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, with its displays of saccadic virtuosity, is the major reason for the nocturnal prevalence of such recurrent hyphemas. Theoretical considerations suggesting a more rational therapy of traumatic hyphema are presented and clinical trials are suggested.
