Subhyaloid hemorrhage in osteogenesis imperfecta tarda.
The clinical characteristics of osteogenesis imperfecta are the result of a defect in the collagen fibrils. This paper presents a case of osteogenesis imperfecta tarda in which a large subhyaloid hemorrhage occurred. This complication, which has never before been reported in the literature, could be the result of a deficiency of collagen in and around the blood vessels of the eye.
