Abstract

RESUMEN La hemorragia retrobulbar es un sangrado en la región intraorbitaria retroseptal que genera un síndrome compartimental orbitario. Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 86 años que acudió a Urgencias por dolor ocular y pérdida de visión en ojo izquierdo de seis horas de evolución. Presentaba tratamiento anticoagulante con 300 mg/día de Dabigatrán por fibrilación auricular como único antecedente médico. La exploración clínica fue compatible con hemorragia retrobulbar, diagnóstico confirmado por TAC urgente, realizándose de forma inmediata una cantotomía con cantolisis. Se realizó RMN orbitaria que descartó la existencia de malformaciones arteriovenosas como factor desencadenante, diagnosticándose de hemorragia retrobulbar espontánea asociada a consumo de anticoagulantes. La singularidad de este caso radica en formar parte del pequeño porcentaje de hemorragias retrobulbares que no se asocian a causa traumática ni postquirúrgica así como en ilustrar una localización muy poco frecuente de sangrado asociado a anticoagulación.

Abstract

Retrobulbar hemorrhage consists of bleeding in the retroseptal intraorbital region generating an orbital compartment syndrome. We present the case of an 86-year-old woman who came to the Emergency Room due to ocular pain and loss of vision in the left eye of six hours of evolution. The only medical history was atrial fibrillation on anticoagulant treatment with Dabigatran 300mg daily. The clinical examination was compatible with retrobulbar hemorrhage and the urgent CT confirmed the diagnosis, performing immediately after a canthotomy with cantolysis. In the absence of triggering factors, an orbital MRI was performed which ruled out the existence of arteriovenous malformations, diagnosing spontaneous retrobulbar hemorrhage associated with the use of anticoagulants. The uniqueness of this case is that it forms part of the small percentage of retrobulbar hemorrhages that are not associated with trauma or postsurgical causes, as well as in illustrating a very rare location of bleeding associated with anticoagulation.
