Recurrent traumatic hyphema due to increased local fibrinolysis. 1980

H Zehavi, and S Kaufman, and R Barishak

A 20-year-old male was injured in his right eye by the stopper of a bottle filled with carbonated fruit juice. The contusion caused a recurrent hyphema which lasted approximately 6 weeks and responded to epsilon-aminocaproic acid treatment. Among the investigations for coagulation and fibrinolysis, the only pathological laboratory finding was a shortened plasma euglobulin clot lysis time (1.5 h) which returned to normal (4--5 h) following the epsilon-aminocaproic and treatment.
