ABSTRACT
Hyphema is rarely seen in neonates. Although most cases are secondary to instrument-assisted delivery, neonatal hyphema can occur spontaneously or result from an underlying coagulopathy. We report the case of an infant who was born with unilateral hyphema and was subsequently found to have gestational alloimmune liver disease-a condition where maternal antibodies attack the infant's liver, leading to a hypocoagulable state. Our patient was treated with topical prednisolone and cyclopentolate/phenylephrine, with subsequent resolution of the hyphema.
