Blunt ocular trauma, eye surgery, pathologies of iris and situations that thrombocytopenia can cause to hyphema. From these causes the most common is blunt ocular trauma and it occurs commonly in children. Hypema may often be treated without any complications in the normal individuals. However vision threatening complications are common in hyphemas seen in patients with hemoglobinopathy. These complication include optic nerve damage due to high intraocular pressure, recurrent hyphema, obstruction in retinal vascularite and infarction of optic nerve. Optic nerve infarction is usually associated with retinal vein occlusion and intraocular pressure elevation. In this report, a case with optic nerve infarct resulted from hyphema which was caused by a minimal blunt trauma in a sickle cell trait child is presented.
