title: Argon laser treatment of an abnormal angle vessel producing recurrent hyphema.
abstract: Spontaneous hyphema has been linked to many conditions. We describe a patient with recurrent spontaneous hyphema caused by an abnormal angle vessel without associated rubeosis iridis, glaucoma, or other vascular abnormalities as documented by iris fluorescein angiography. After treatment with several sessions of argon laser photocoagulation, the patient has remained asymptomatic during ten months of follow-up.
