Spontaneous Hyphema in a Pediatric Patient After Tetralogy of Fallot Repair: A Case Report.
We describe a case of spontaneous hyphema presentation in an infant who underwent repair of tetralogy of Fallot. This case illustrates a previously unreported cause of hyphema formation from a combination of venous congestion caused by elevated right ventricular pressure and residual coagulopathy after cardiopulmonary bypass.
