Abstract:
PURPOSE: We report 3 cases of patients with retinal hemorrhage among 27 newborns with intrauterine growth retardation. CASE SUMMARY: Twenty-seven newborns with intrauterine growth retardation were examined using the indirect ophthalmoscope for confirming retinal hemorrhage which was observed in 3 patients. The mean gestational age and birth weight (g) of the 3 patients were 37⁺⁶ weeks and 2,086.7 g, respectively. Among the 3 newborns, 1 patient's mother had oligohydramnios. Two patients were delivered vaginally and 1 by cesarean section. All 3 patients had no birth trauma and the retinal hemorrhage was resolved within 2 weeks after the first eye examination. CONCLUSIONS: We observed 3 cases with retinal hemorrhage in neonates with intrauterine growth retardation which improved within 2 weeks.
