Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a potentially fatal condition commonly encountered in the context of obstetric complications. Various ocular manifestations have been reported as a consequence of DIC such as choroidal infarctions and vitreous and orbital hemorrhage. We report a case of a 24-year-old female, who developed DIC secondary to placental abruption at 33 weeks' gestation with a bilateral panophthalmitis-like picture, hyphema, and corneal blood staining.
