title: Hyphema and elevated intraocular pressure in a neonate.
abstract: A female neonate delivered vaginally at term was noted 12 hours after birth to have a 20% hyphema, layered temporally. Intraocular pressure in the affected eye was 46 mm Hg. She was treated with intravenous and topical medications, with normalization of pressure within 6 hours. The hyphema cleared completely within 72 hours.
