Although SCH is a well-known and relatively common disease, the cause in a number of cases remains unknown. Here, we report an unusual ocular presentation of bulbar SCH in a patient who had received an influenza vaccine. Patients who present with SCH other than trauma episode should be evaluated with metabolic diseases or coagulopathy. Although there are rare cases of SCH related to vaccination, we should closely follow a patient if there is a risk of the SCH becoming bleeding disorder. To our knowledge, the features of SCH related to vaccination have not been reported. © 2011, The Ophthalmologic Society of Taiwan. Published by Elsevier Taiwan LLC. |
